Venture.Community thrives on a diverse membership base, where each member plays a unique role in driving community success for start-ups and entrepreneurs. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur, a skilled specialist, a driven founder, or a company looking to collaborate, we have a membership that fits your aspirations
Full membership is granted to individuals who have made a meaningful contribution to the goals of the society — whether by investing in the start-ups we accelerate, committing time and expertise to mentoring and training founders, or, in the case of founders, by completing our acceleration programme.
Full Members have the right to vote on how the society is run and help shape its future direction. They also have the opportunity to share in any dividends paid out from the society’s surplus, reflecting our principle of shared success and long-term value for all who contribute.
Founders are the visionaries leading start-ups. They benefit from the mentorship, resources, and funding enhanced by the community, accelerating their journey to success.

Not everyone needs to be a full member to be part of Venture.Community in order to contribute. Our Supporting Members – including Community Members and Associate Members – play an important role in the wider ecosystem.
Whether you're exploring investment opportunities, attending events, or trading services within the co-op, supporting membership offers a way to get involved, stay connected, and contribute to the community’s success.
Community Memberships are for anyone who wishes to engage with and support their local society.
Participate in community events
Grow your network

Associate Memberships are for companies and organisations that wish to trade within the co-op and support its activities - either as part of acceleration or to provide support to founders. Each associate is represented by a named full member to ensure alignment with the society’s values and governance.
All Community Members can access and view our deal flow through the Venture.Community platform — but if you want to invest directly in the start-ups we accelerate and play a more active role in their journey, you'll need to subscribe to our Angel Syndicate.
Our Angel Syndicate is made up of individuals who are passionate about supporting early-stage businesses and helping build a stronger regional start-up ecosystem. Investing in start-ups seeking acceleration isn’t just about potential returns — it’s also a recognised pathway to full membership in the society, where you’ll gain voting rights and a share in our collective success.
If you are already a Community Member, you can gain access to our angel syndicate here by choosing the either the monthly or annual subscription option
