StartupCafe

The UK Trade & Investment team from San Francisco visited Edinburgh this week, and we were delighted to connect them with the local startup scene. Huge thanks to Cody, Tim, Tanner, and Tahera for being awesome and recognising the wealth of activity up here – and more importantly, being willing to help! Thanks also to those of you that made it along for lunch on Wednesday, and I hope the conversations keep rolling along…

I’ve found UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) folks fantastic for supporting trade show appearances and offering concrete introductions to American companies. Cody was really helpful while I was working with TenBu Technologies, for example getting Sprint to pay attention to us when I had no contact, so I wanted to make sure other startups were made aware of the support available.

I hope it was helpful, and THANK YOU to everyone who came along!
