Previous Programmes
Startup First Steps
Startup First Steps was a practical course tailored for early-stage startup founders in Scotland, guiding them through the initial steps of bringing their first product to market.
After two years and three successful cohorts, the Techscaler team has gathered valuable insights from participants, contributors, and partners to create a revitalised educational programme for early-stage members: Techscaler Catalyst. There will be no more cohorts of Startup First Steps.
