Our focus is on building culture, community and education that promotes and supports tech innovation.
To do this we work with startups, scaleups, corporates, governments, academia and the 3rd sector to help support innovation ecosystems, using worldwide startup best practice and tailoring it to local realities.
Try things, take risks, have courage. Think bigger and encourage others. Make a difference.
Educate yourself and others. Collaborate. Be an inspiration. Progress and learn.
Be outward-looking. Promote diversity. Look beyond your circles. Think globally, connect internationally.
Investigate, examine the world, think hard. Take nothing for granted. Question yourself.
Be additive and inclusive, enable others, embrace the complexities and work to help everyone.
Take the path you didn't expect, share the unpolished draft. Be vulnerable and embrace the changes.
Startup ecosystems should be welcoming and inclusive places in which everyone can thrive. At CodeBase, we’re committed to putting diversity and inclusion at the heart of our culture - in our spaces and events, our education programmes and in our community. It’s something we’re continually working on to improve ourselves as an organisation, and foster in the wider ecosystems that we support.
In particular, we want to drive improvement in the diversity of founders in the tech ecosystem. We’re also continuing to evolve our recruitment processes to improve the diversity of our team.
We’re proud to be partners with anti-racism charity Radiant & Brighter, and we’re continuing to seek out new partners as we grow.
If you’re a partner or founder who shares our vision, get in touch. If you’re keen to join the team, check out our jobs page. And if you’d just like to come along and see what CodeBase is about, keep an eye on our upcoming events.

We started off by creating a big space for startups in the city centre that was affordable and had great WiFi. Our aim was to create a home for tech startups and scaleups, building a community that helped them to build their businesses.
We hit the ground running. Since 2014 we’ve grown five-fold in Edinburgh. CodeBase Stirling came online in 2017, followed by ONE CodeBase in Aberdeen in June 2019.
We have also built a strategic partnership with Barclays that involves us delivering mentorship and business support to Barclays Eagle Labs throughout the the UK. From our first 15 startups in Edinburgh, we now support over 500 startups and scaleups across the UK.
We also spend a whole bunch of time speaking with universities, city councils, local and national government, corporates, VCs, angel investors, social enterprises - basically all the major ingredients of the modern tech startup ecosystem.
We’ve been learning a lot and constantly iterating, and now, increasingly, we’re reflecting back what we have learned and building programmes and products to help create new jobs and new wealth, ultimately being additive to the existing ecosystems.
