Member Bio

We’re part of the South West’s creative and technology community, and we’re always interested in meeting people with ideas, questions and businesses they’d like to develop.

At SETsquared Bath, we’re interested in the people behind the businesses as much as the ideas themselves. What are you creating? Where do you want to take it? What’s working well, and what could be better?

We’re here to help you explore those questions and find some useful answers.

Through our Innovation Centre, we run a range of practical business programmes, from helping people explore an early-stage idea and test its commercial potential to supporting established businesses as they navigate growth and new opportunities.

We know that creative businesses come in all shapes and sizes. Some are developing new technologies, others are finding interesting ways to use them. And for many, technology is simply part of how they create, collaborate, reach customers and run their businesses.

What connects them is the need to make good decisions, find the right people and occasionally have the space to think about what comes next.

That’s where our programmes, experienced specialists and community of founders and business owners come together. There’s an opportunity to challenge your thinking, learn from others, share experiences and make connections with people who understand the realities of building a business.

We’re particularly interested in the conversations that happen when creative thinking, technology and commercial experience meet. They can lead somewhere unexpected.

So, what are you working on?

Take a look at our website to explore our current programmes and opportunities, or simply get in touch. Tell us what you’re working on, what you’re finding challenging or what you’d like to do next.

We’d love to hear from you.
