Peer Advisory Roundtables for Startup Entrepreneurs (PARSE) is an initiative that brings together small cohorts (6-8 individuals) of tech startup founders to share knowledge, experiences, and challenges in a series of formal two-hour sessions.

Run by Stuart Clarke of Paceline Ltd, with support from Leeds City Council and Bruntwood SciTech, PARSE aims to help to build the resilience of startup entrepreneurs, widen the founders’ organic trusted support network and leverage the power of the community.

Participation in PARSE is free for the selected candidates; however, participants must commit to attending each of the six sessions, for the benefit of the whole cohort.

After an introductory session, each founder will be asked to bring an issue to the table for discussion so that the group can work together to find solutions to common problems.

Issues to be discussed will be tailored depending on the mix of the cohort, but could include investment, product market fit, exporting, and building a team. The sessions will be led by an expert facilitator.

Sessions will run once a month from 4.00-6.00pm over the course of six months. Exact dates to be confirmed.

All sessions will be held in person at a venue in Leeds City Centre.
