Hi Leicester,
If you're looking for mentorship or friendly advice for your Startup - or are an experienced hand and would like to support others at the start of their journey, let us know via the Mentor Fridays Google doc.
This week also sees the launch of our Founder Confidential video series. 5-min quick takes with founders across the region. How they started, how they're managing the current situation, and advice for others thinking of starting. We'd love to share your story too - email us henry@LeicesterStartups.com to be a guest on the show.
For a more comprehensive picture of Leicester startup community news, events and podcasts, head over to http://www.leicesterstartups.com/start-here/ and subscribe to our news & events digest.
