New digital community set to support startups and entrepreneurs in Yorkshire
A new app is launching to connect Yorkshire entrepreneurs with a diverse range of experts and advisors.
The Zeal Connect app brings together trusted advisors from the startup sphere who are thoroughly vetted for their relevant experience. The app was developed by digital entrepreneur, Jane Slimming, who runs Zeal, an agency specialising in supporting startups and scale-up businesses.
Jane Slimming, founder of Zeal Connect, commented: “The inspiration for Zeal Connect came from the conversations we have with entrepreneurs who have a great idea but often struggle to build a support network.
“We’ve worked hard to develop a network of advisors that have hands-on experience in supporting these types of companies and are thoroughly decent folk.
“Zeal Connect is more than just a way to source and connect with the advisors you need to grow a business; it is the starting point for a community that will bring people together to network and help each other.”
Zeal Connect has experts from legal, accounting, funding, marketing, grants advice, recruitment, culture, branding, logistics, and more. It is always seeking to expand its network, and interested advisors should make contact through the app, which is available in the Apple and Android app stores.
The app is free of charge to users and aimed at owners and founders seeking support to grow their businesses.
Jane concluded: “We are launching Zeal Connect because we have an unwavering belief that if you have access to the right information and the right people, your chances for success are exponentially greater.”
