Open Tech Calendar

Join us as we convene 50 Founders and 50 Investors to showcase SY talent and reinvigorate the investment landscape in our home of Sheffield.

Are you a Founder looking to supercharge your business? Do you need funding and advice to scale up and achieve your vision? Is it starting to dawn on you that South Yorkshire has a limited pool of regional investors and you want to broaden the horizon of your network?

As a region we are one of the most innovative, collaborative and creative seen throughout the entire UK. With our culture of unity, camaraderie and knowledge-sharing, alongside housing leading innovative companies, world-class startups, two fantastic Universities, a deep and wide pool of talent, and competitive operational costs, it is no small secret that South Yorkshire is becoming the Startup Capital of the UK. And yet, we are often overlooked by external funding sources and struggle to secure the investments we need to realise our entrepreneurial visions.

What can we collectively do to remedy this? Perhaps we at Ampere-STP have found a solution which can kickstart the change our region deserves.

This is an Ampere & STP event unlike any which have come before! We will be convening investors who have never before ventured to our home of Sheffield. The goal of this event is to showcase the exceptional breadth and depth of talent we have on display in South Yorkshire to a new audience of potential investors. This event offers a chance for Founders to rub shoulders with top-tier angels and VCs from around the UK.

Come along and help us impress our visitors with your ideas, teams, goals and achievements. Receive insightful feedback to refine your business model and growth strategies. Make invaluable connections for future funding rounds. This is all possible in the electric networking environment we've specially designed for founders and funders to seamlessly connect.

The event will involve several pre-agreed companies pitching to a panel and audience, however, there will be over an hour of networking during the event and informal drinks afterwards at a location to be decided.

Attendee spots are limited for this event, so to secure your place make sure you get your tickets as soon as possible! This is one event you absolutely cannot miss if you are serious about accelerating your startup's success.
