Tribe York

Hot-desking & co-working space in York for social enterprises, freelancers, home workers, digital nomads, entrepreneurs and small business owners. Setting up your own business is one of the scariest things you can do. We know, because we've done it, and have the scars to prove it. From marketing to finances, recruiting staff to building a customer base. All of these tasks take time, knowledge and can cost huge amounts of money - a distraction from doing what you're good at and where your passion lies. Over the last 12 months, we have met hundreds of amazing people in York, who have great business ideas and don't know where to start, or want to solve a problem in their community, but don't know how to make it pay the bills. So we created Tribe York, to support these inspirational entrepreneurs and create a real grassroots movement. Tribe is York’s first business incubator supporting businesses that want to do good at the same time as making profit. We believe business is best placed to solve community issues. We support them to be more socially conscious, and charitable organisations to think more commercially. This creates resilient, sustainable, and high impact organisations built by, and with, local communities. At Tribe we provide affordable, flexible co-working office space in the heart of the City Centre, filled with like-minded social entrepreneurs sharing ideas, contacts and advice. We have regular inspirational talks; solutions-focused masterclasses delivered by local business people, and one to one mentoring and surgeries to give start ups the boost they need. If people aren't in a position to have a desk, we offer a virtual membership. Our aim is to create new opportunities for those furthest from the labour market, and we deliver presentations in prisons and across the voluntary sector, to empower people to believe they can run their own business, with the support they require to be a success. Tribe York is a space for ideas to grow.
