I am based and from Scotland (Glasgow). I have a startup that going to be looking for a first round of funding in the next few months, anyone had experience with this? Is there an equivalent Kickstarter for the U.K.?



Lots of people - (more in Edinburgh). There is Entrepreneurial Spark in Glasgow http://www.entrepreneurial-spark.com/ and Rookie Oven of course. Scottish Lean Circle in Edinburgh https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!forum...


These seem to be support groups or clubs rather than places to look for funding, I was thinking more Angel investors or crowd sourcing.


Yes, but we all know the investors, the angels, who to approach, who is funding, what you will need to get funded, how to apply to Seedcamp, etc, etc.

Funding isn't just about 'ding, dong, gies some money'.


Ah right, I though I just sent a link to my system to a couple of rich dudes and my bank account would then become overflowing :-p

Joking aside thanks for that, looks like a great way to lplug into the funding network.
