TechHub

Looking for some expert help for your cash-strapped startup? Could you use a developer for two months, or an operations person a day a week?

At TechHub, we're putting a programme in place where corporates can offer their staff on secondment to tech startups. It might be that the corporate would like to contribute to the startup community via their talented staff, offer an opportunity to their staff to try new things, or if they're facing redundancies and want to help staff on their way to joining a startup or beginning their own as an entrepreneur. 
 

We have one such project that we're planning with a large mobile company at the moment, and while the project is still in planning, it's likely  they'll have some people across development, engineering, product management, ops and some support functions such as HR avalable to startups to temporarily take on board.

We want to get an idea of which companies need help and in which areas, and whether or not there's the possibility it could turn into a role afterwards (this isn't a definite requirement, but we do want to know if it's a possibility).

This is being offered to TechHub Members first, and potentially to other tech startups in the Shoreditch area.  
 

If you're interested please email Elizabeth [@] Techhub.com:

• A 100-word description of your company and product. Include the size of your company/roles in the current team and how long it's been running.
• A 100-word brief outline of the project/area you'd need help with
• A list of the skills a person would need in order to be involved
• Whether you'd need someone full time for a few months, or if a day/few days a week would also work
• Please note if any of the roles a person or people would be filling is likely to turn into a permanent or longer-term contract role (paid) with your company

Once the programme is in place, we'll be arranging a speed-dating/meet & greet evening for potential employees to meet with the startups.

If you're a large employer and you'd be interested in joining this programme at TechHub, please get in touch with Elizabeth at TechHub.com for more details of how to get involved.
