Hope to see you at TechHub!

I also share your thoughts on *contribution* being a key component, as that’s what really makes a community hum. I’d welcome a chat about the things you’ve found work well (and those that don’t).

Valuable input from someone who’s been there and done it, thank you.

Rather than exclusive, it’s really more about making decisions about members to get a good mix of types of businesses, from a range of countries (so it’s not totally London-centric).

We’d love it to be a real physical hub where members can find out more about what’s happening in the industry – particularly outside their own immediate area – to get fresh perspectives and a wider view.

Also, we hope that creating a good mix means more opportunities for collaboration, skills-sharing and using others’ expertise.

@tenthings TechHub is certainly not being created with a goal of selling to a US company. It’s aiming to meet some of the needs of tech startups from the UK, Europe, US and beyond – simple as that.

Mike, you seem very keen to stress you’re joining as a personal member. Does that mean you’ll be paying full wack? And not getting a freebie in exchange for advertorial for your fellow “key entrepreneurs”? Be interesting to see future levels of coverage, and disclosure of course.

I think you’re wrong. Language is one of the factors. I think people choose London because of its rich diversity, tolerance and opportunities.

London might not be the hot-spot to start up a business but it certainly has its main advantages.
Example:
You are highly likely to get a business loan if you’re starting up in London as oppose to other EU Cities/Countries.

You are highly likely to start a business in London if you are from an ethnic or small minority groups i.e. Jews, Blacks or Asians as oppose to other EU Countries. “Reason being discriminatory or racial or lack of community cohesion etc.”

The banking system speaks locally and thinks and acts globally.

London/UK has some of the top universities in world thus, generating some of the brightest brains around.

Over 300 languages are spoken in London, making the capital the most linguistically diverse city in the entire world.

Really looking forward to having a comfortable, startup-friendly space to visit when I’m in London.
