COLLIDE - Network, collaborate and Accelerate.

Are you a Retail, Esport or Gaming founder with a great digital/tech idea, but do you need some help you create it?

Or are you a potential co-founder interested in putting your technical skills toward a new startup?

Our event connects founders with tech-savvy individuals to collaborate and start great businesses together.

On the evening we'll be talking you through our upcoming Accelerator programme, specifically designed to Retail, Gaming and Esport founders. Our new programme; Accelerate! offers a fantastic opportunity to take your startup to the next level, whilst the event provides the perfect introduction to connect you and your business with experts.

Why we’re doing this:

We know that one of the biggest barriers to starting a tech business is developing the technology, especially in cases when founders have great ideas but lack the technical know-how to implement them.

At our COLLIDE event, we aim to connect tech-minded individuals (aka potential co-founders) with people with business ideas in order to help them create brilliant businesses together.

COLLIDE has been a successful part of Sunderland Software City’s Startup Programmes that aim to support the creation and growth of digital/tech startups, so it's a brilliant event to be a part of for those entrepreneurs out there. Many of us within Sunderland Software City have been in your shoes as part of a start-up business or as part of the wider tech and start-up ecosystem around the UK. We are human, we are here to listen, chat, and help you on your journey.

On the night we will be talking you through our upcoming Accelerator programmes starting this January 2025, with details on how it can support those wanting to take their tech startup to the next stage, COLLIDE will be the perfect introduction for you and your startup to get the best professional guidance.

Food and drinks will be provided on the evening for attendees.

If there's anything we can do to make this event more accessible for you, or if you have any queries, please contact our Startup & Growth Manager or Community Outreach Coordinator;
