The tools are the half you can see. The other half is the people: around 135 Bristol founders who, between them, have been through nearly every workspace and accelerator in the city — now helping each other across all of them. Findable, and up for helping. Right now they're saying where they're working from, asking for intros, and answering each other with real names attached.
Your name, your email, a six-digit code — about a minute. No spam, and easy to leave again.
Bristol Spring is the online community behind these tools — around 135 Bristol founders who, between them, have been through nearly every workspace and accelerator in the city, now helping each other across all of them. Saying where they're working from today, asking for intros, answering each other with real names attached. The only thing missing is you. Two minutes to join, nothing to pay, leave any time.
