Silicon Mingle: A Monthly Meetup for the Whole Tech Community
We’re a relaxed monthly meetup for anyone passionate about tech – whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, creative, developer, designer, student, career changer, or simply curious. If you’re into tech, you’re welcome.
Our goal is simple: bring together people from all backgrounds and experiences to connect in real life, share ideas, and support one another.
This month, we’re thrilled to welcome Creative UK Investments as our July Mingle partner, just as they launch a new fund for investment-ready creative and cultural businesses in the North East.
They’ve already backed 400+ creative companies and are now investing through the North East Culture & Creative Investment Programme (CCIP), in partnership with the North East Combined Authority.
💸 What’s on the table?

Whether you’re in games, film, immersive tech, publishing, design or marketing, if you’re scaling or seeking capital, this is smart, founder-friendly funding built for you.
