CodeBase

Who We Are

CodeBase is one of the largest tech incubators in the UK, providing comprehensive support to tech startups and scaleups through education, mentorship, and dedicated workspace. Founded in Edinburgh, we have expanded to multiple locations across Scotland, including Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Stirling, and Inverness, with plans to open in Dumfries soon.

Our mission is to help entrepreneurs build better businesses by creating a nurturing ecosystem for innovation. We collaborate with a diverse range of stakeholders—from early-stage startups to governments, corporations, and universities—promoting tech innovation and building a supportive community for entrepreneurs from all backgrounds. We believe that great ideas can come from anywhere, and we're committed to ensuring everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

What We Do

At CodeBase, we help tech startups grow and succeed through a comprehensive suite of services designed to meet businesses at every stage of their journey. Our offerings include flexible coworking spaces that foster collaboration, structured startup programs, one-on-one mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs, and direct access to investors and funding opportunities.

We work closely with local governments, large corporations, and academic institutions to foster innovation and create meaningful opportunities for collaboration. Our community-led approach allows us to adapt global best practices to the specific needs of local ecosystems, ensuring that our support is relevant and impactful.

Whether we're connecting startups with experienced mentors, offering educational programs on scaling and fundraising, or facilitating partnerships with industry leaders, we aim to provide the right support at the right time. Our work positively impacts not just individual businesses, but the wider entrepreneurial ecosystem across Scotland.

We understand that our team does their best work when they're energized and fulfilled both professionally and personally.

Our culture is built on the core values of mutual support, continuous learning, and contributing to the broader tech ecosystem. We practice what we preach—just as we support startups to innovate and grow, we support our team members to develop their skills and careers in ways that are meaningful to them.
