CodeBase

CodeBase is an ecosystem builder, building better startup ecosystems. By lowering the barriers to entry for startup founders and accelerating their growth, and providing SMEs with the support they need to scale, we create a healthier, wealthier and more sustainable society. Techscaler is a programme for building, growing and scaling tech startups in Scotland, delivered by CodeBase and funded by The Scottish Government.

Pledge 1

CodeBase committed to raising the participation rates of women founders in Techscaler, who have an early stage product in market and are looking to grow their business. To undertake this work, CodeBase appointed an internal lead to coordinate and prioritise this area of work across teams. Among other positive results, they have increased the number of women founders in Techscaler 2.6 fold from 184 to 475 members over the past year, representing 34.7% of total membership.

Pledge 2

CodeBase also committed to actively increasing the percentage of women mentors and facilitators in their network. They prioritised the onboarding of 28 women and non-binary mentors which increased the percentage from 23% to 31% in 2024. They also achieved an average of 50% women facilitators for their Techscaler education programmes overall in 2024.
