Digital Startup Ecosystem · UK
Where startups meet opportunity.
For founders who think differently
The online network connecting ambitious founders with established businesses, experts, partners, finance and opportunities that help businesses grow.
9 people. 1 pub. 10,000+ founders.
Started in Portsmouth (UK) in 2016 by nine people who saw too many serious, scalable founders overlooked because they didn't fit the traditional mould, including women, neurodivergent founders and under-represented entrepreneurs.
10,000+ founders & SMEs · 50+ partners · £6mn+ raised through our network
We've worked with Uber, Allianz/LV, Marriott and Xebra Accounting, and now connect founders with 50+ corporate and SME partners across our ecosystem.
Built differently. Built for founders.
No recordings
Live online monthly member and partner sessions, monthly — real conversations, not a video library.
Our community
Real people. Real businesses. Real connections.
Since 2016, thousands of founders, experts and established businesses have been part of the Startup Disruptors network.
How it works
What happens next.
Two clear routes in — one for founders, one for established businesses. Here is each one from first contact to being part of it, with nothing left to guess.
Founder journey
Join, then never build alone
Two ways in: join now at £99 a month, or ask us something first. Both end the same way — you inside the community.
Begin your founder journey now
Join straight away at £99 a month.
A person replies, not a funnel
We read each message ourselves and reply within two working days. No drip campaign, no sales sequence.
Membership begins at checkout
Secure checkout takes your details and starts your £99 a month membership immediately.
Your welcome pack arrives by email
Once you've signed up, we email you full instructions and a welcome pack so you know exactly what to expect.
A monthly invitation to the members meeting
Each month you receive a diary invitation by email for the live online members meeting — simply accept or decline.
Partner journey
Partner at the level that fits
Partnerships begin with a straight conversation about what you want from the ecosystem — so you buy the right level, not the biggest one.
Tell us what you're after
Share your business, your objectives and the level you have in mind: £500, £1,000 or £2,000+ a month.
You get a reference number
Your enquiry is logged and confirmed on screen with a reference (SD-P-XXXXXX) right away.
We check it's a genuine fit
We look at what you need and which tier actually delivers it. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you honestly.
A short call, then it's in writing
One conversation to agree objectives and level, followed by written confirmation of exactly what's included.
We set you up in the ecosystem
Your partner presence, ecosystem access and business development opportunities are arranged so founders can find you.
You stay visible, month after month
You show up across the community and the live online sessions. Rolling monthly, with 30 days' notice either way.
Side by side
Founders vs partners, at a glance
