The tools are open to everyone · Bristol Spring is the room behind them

Going for this one? Someone in the room has won it before.

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.
