The question isn't whether you have what it takes. It's whether you have the right support.
An idea you can't stop thinking about. A problem you keep seeing that nobody's solving. A product you know you could build if you just had the right support around you.
You're not alone. Some of the UK's most successful startups were founded by people who spent years in corporate tech roles before making the leap. The skills, industry knowledge, and professional discipline you've built are exactly what makes great founders.
The Reality
The Challenges You're Facing
The gap between idea and company feels enormous
You've got stability. The idea of stepping away from that feels risky, especially when you don't know anyone personally who's done it.
Your current network isn't a founder network
Your colleagues are focused on promotions. Your friends are in similar roles. You haven't met angel investors or spoken to someone who's actually raised a round in the UK.
There's a lot to learn about the UK startup landscape
How do you register a company? What are the tax implications of a side project? How do SEIS and EIS work? What does a UK investor actually look for in a pitch? These questions feel overwhelming when you're trying to answer them on your own.
If you're on a work visa, there are additional considerations
Can you be a company director on a Skilled Worker visa? What happens to your immigration status if your startup doesn't work out? The UK has created real pathways for international entrepreneurs, but understanding them requires guidance.
Finding people on the same journey changes everything
You need a space where you can connect with others who are also thinking about making the jump from professional to founder, and people who've already made it.
