About CodeBase
Who We Are
CodeBase is the UK's largest tech incubator network, headquartered in Edinburgh and operating seven sites across Scotland. From our Edinburgh HQ at 37a Castle Terrace (EH1 2EL), we work with governments, corporates, and universities to deliver strategic programmes that fuel innovation, strengthen ecosystems, and create long-term economic resilience across sectors and geographies.
What We Do
We design and deliver growth programmes that accelerate innovation, connect ecosystems, and generate measurable impact for partners and founders. Verbatim from our website:
- Proven Experience — "Over a decade delivering 20+ high-impact programmes across technical, commercial, and founder-readiness areas, consistently turning strategic goals into measurable growth and ecosystem outcomes."
- Extensive Networks — "Our network spans over 150 expert mentors, 4 Entrepreneurs in Residence, 100+ partners, and 100+ investors, giving partners unrivalled access to resources that accelerate programme success."
- Operational Excellence — "Trusted by the Scottish and the UK Government, we've supported 2,000+ ambitious startups, executing with precision and scale to ensure outcomes align with objectives and community needs."
We deliver the Techscaler programme on behalf of the Scottish Government, alongside accelerators and pathway programmes tailored to early-stage and high-growth startups. Our community-led approach allows us to adapt global best practices to the specific needs of local ecosystems.
Where we are
Seven sites across Scotland: Edinburgh HQ (Castle Terrace), Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Stirling, and Inverness, with partnerships extending into the wider UK and beyond. Local delivery, global reach.
Culture and work-life balance
CodeBase is profiled on 4dayweek.io as a four-day-week (32-hour) employer with Fridays off for personal development, side projects, or rest. Historical CodeBase job listings (including a Programme Manager role from October 2024) have explicitly referenced the four-day week. (Note: the current public site doesn't describe the four-day week or detailed benefits package; specifics are best verified directly with the CodeBase People team at the time of applying.)
We collaborate with central government, local authorities, corporates, and academia to design and deliver programmes that meet strategic objectives, drive tech innovation, and create long-term economic resilience.
Get involved
