SDP 46: James Taylor on StartupScale and helping Sheffield’s digital businesses grow

Sheffield Digital Podcast

Episode 46 of the Sheffield Digital Podcast sees Mel and Chris talk to James Taylor from Roaring Mouse PR about their fantastic new initiative called Startupscale.

What the heck is Startupscale? It’s a “pioneering two-year business experiment designed to accelerate the development of tech startups in Sheffield and across the North of England.” Essentially, it’s a chance to get access to expert mentors, exclusive networking opportunities, and valuable media exposure – completely free-of-charge.

It was great to hear James talk about why he and Roaring Mouse decided to run Startupscale as a way to give back to the community. And the project itself sounds absolutely brilliant and a great opportunity.
