We do things differently
Quality
We focus on supporting startups that have previously raised and/or are revenue-generating. This means our partners have access to startups focused on growth and scale. On average, our members have raised £300k prior to joining our programmes, and our events are by application-only which ensures our partners meet with a curated group of founders.
Track record
Over our founders’ 7 years experience in the sector, we’ve run hundreds of programmes and events for thousands of startups alongside partners, and have successful partnerships with Techspace, Zendesk, SeedLegals, Deel, Novabook, OVHCloud and more.
Reputation and network
We pour all our energy into supporting our startups, and our community knows the Hotbed team is here to help them 24/7 (yes, really!), which has allowed our brand to grow organically. From our network, we've welcomed speakers like the founders of WeWork, Calm, Strava, what3words, Blockchain.com and more, which helps us attract new members as well.

“We couldn’t recommend working with them more!”
“We’ve been partnered with M and Perdie since 2020, having initially reached out to them due to their credibility and profile in the startup ecosystem as programme delivery experts.
We started working together to design a programme that would add value to our community, and this evolved into a programme that allows us to build relationships with new customers outside our membership. We couldn’t recommend working with them more.”
