About
We create the connections
Startup Disruptors connects ambitious founders with the people and businesses that can help them move forward.
Connecting UK SMEs
One digital ecosystem
We bring together startups, established SMEs, corporate partners, experts and opportunities in one digital ecosystem.
Founders get access to useful connections, expertise and opportunities. Partners get access to emerging businesses, entrepreneurial talent, potential commercial relationships and the opportunity to share their expertise.
Founders bring ambition. Partners bring experience, expertise and opportunity. Startup Disruptors creates the connections.
Our story
9 people. 1 pub. 10,000+ founders later.
Startup Disruptors started in Portsmouth in 2016 with nine people trying to solve a simple problem: great founders were being overlooked because they didn't fit the traditional mould.
10,000+ founders and SMEs, 50+ corporate and SME partners, and £6mn+ raised in debt and equity finance through our connections.
