Parse

PARSE is a programme of Peer Advisory Roundtables for Startup Entrepreneurs, designed and delivered by Paceline Digital, and supported by Leeds City Council and Bruntwood SciTech.

Bringing together small cohorts of tech startup founders, PARSE was developed to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experiences, and to tackle common challenges in a secure peer-to-peer environment.

Having commenced in 2021, the first cohort of 12 founders came together once a month, for six months, for a formal two hour roundtable and social event. Each session differed, tailored to the specific needs and requirements of the group and allowed them to share their unique insights and experiences as a collective.

Paceline Digital will run the second programme, with the next cohort of inspiring tech founders from the Leeds City Region, in 2022.

Fortunate to have not only built connections but friendships with fellow PARSE cohort founders. Overall, I feel PARSE has surpassed the expectations that I had when I went into for the first session.

The supportive, transparent environment was perfect for where I was at in my business, it was nice to have an unbiased, non-judgemental, sounding board.

The sessions laid out a strong foundation of support amongst founders that go beyond providing advice and sharing experiences during the sessions. It also led to introductions to people that can provide the support founders need.

The thing about PARSE I found most valuable was being able to step away from the business and gain insight into other founders experiences.

I now have a local network of similar stage founders which is incredibly valuable.
