Intro → Welcome to Blighty! 🇬🇧

Hi I’m Andy (https://x.com/Andy_AJT) → This is a supercharger doc for any tech founder (or operator/investor/nerd) who’s keen to make the most of their time in London. (inspired by SF Founder Starter Guide by @michelleefang)

I am so excited for you. I’m biassed but I think London is the best city in the world to live in. London is so much more than just tech. While tech is here and London is one of the most active startup cities in Europe, you still have to hunt it out. The aim of this guide is to help you immerse yourself in the London tech community faster..

If you have any recommendations, resources, or information you’d like to contribute, please DM me on Twitter @andy_ajt and I’d be happy to add!
