Idea / pre-productMVP / early product

Global volunteer talent marketplace connecting early-stage tech startups with a community of skilled volunteers who help founders build without giving up equity or paying salaries. Volunteers span engineering, product, design, marketing, sales and operations, and once you subscribe their time is free. Startups pay a monthly or annual subscription to post opportunities and build teams, with the tier set by how much funding you have raised. Particularly useful for pre-revenue and bootstrapping founders.

Why this programme

Build product / validate MVP

Access 66,000+ skilled volunteers to help build your product, validate your MVP, and develop functional teams, without equity dilution or salary costs.

Community / workspace / ecosystem

Join a community of bootstrapping UK tech founders using volunteer talent to de-risk their early build. Weekly online sessions and ongoing support.

Scale & grow

Use skilled volunteers to build out specific capabilities, technical, marketing, operations, as you grow. Cytix, a SkilledUp Life customer, went on to raise £1.6M from Praetura Ventures.
