Pollen was set up in the summer of 2007 for designers, musicians, creatives, thinkers, doers, writers, DJs, gamers, architects, academics and anyone else who feels they fit outside the mainstream of business. Creative entrepreneurs are faced with unique problems and are often not supported as well as many other types of business. Pollen organises relaxed, no-agenda networking events to bring the creative entrepreneurs of South Wales together to discuss, support and hopefully forge one or two brilliant new alliances. Maybe you’ve got a great idea for an online community but need to hook up with a web developer to realise your dream? Perhaps you’re setting up a record label or a magazine and are looking to speak to others who’ve been through the funding application process? Use the forum at http://www.pollenhq.co.uk to swap ideas, encouragement and tips, and come along to our events to put faces to names over a drink.
