About this event
An open afternoon at SETsquared Bristol's incubator for tech entrepreneurs and university researchers who are not members yet. The point is to see inside the programme before applying: what the business support actually covers, how the adviser and investor network works, and what membership gets you.
The published agenda is talks from Entrepreneurs in Residence, a fireside chat with a current member, and a panel Q&A with the SETsquared Bristol team. No individual speakers are named on the listing. It runs 15:00 to 17:00 at the Sloane Robinson Building on Cattle Market Road, part of Bristol Innovations at the University of Bristol.
Free to attend.
Why go: the shortest honest route to deciding whether incubation is worth your time, with the people who run it and founders already in it answering questions in the same room. Best for pre-seed tech founders and spin-out academics.
