Free monthly networking event for startup founders, entrepreneurs and investors to meet mentors, investors and potential co-founders.
HUSTLE Leeds is back at Manahatta Greek Street on Thursday 22 October, with doors opening at 5pm. It's a networking event for the city's startup and entrepreneurial crowd, and it's part of a wider HUSTLE tour that runs across the UK.
They describe it as the most action-oriented networking event for ambitious founders and entrepreneurs, and they pitch it as a place to find a co-founder, an investor or a first client. The whole thing is designed to be fast-paced and founder-focused, with structured mingling to help you meet mentors, investors, future team members and fellow entrepreneurs. The aim is to walk away with three to five valuable new connections rather than just a handful of business cards you'll never look at again.
It's not just for the big names, either. The room is for startup founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, side-hustlers, freelancers and investors, so it works whether you're already running a business or just starting to build one. It runs on the third Thursday of every month except December, which makes it a regular fixture in the Leeds calendar rather than a one-off.

There are a few practical things to keep in mind before you head down. You'll need to be over 18 and show ID, and there's a smart-wear dress code — no hoodies or tracksuits. While it's free to attend, the organisers do state there's an expectation that you buy a full-priced drink at the bar. Space is limited, so it's worth getting your spot sorted early. You'll find it at Manahatta Greek Street, 29 East Parade, Leeds LS1 5PS, with doors opening at 5pm.
