The company has gone from strength to strength over the last 3 years and is proud work with prestigious organisations including the British Library, Scottish Government, Balfour Beatty, Registers of Scotland and humanitarian charities in the US and Cambodia.

“This is not just about a new office,” commented Alan Moore, CEO of thinkWhere, “CodeBase offers much more than just the chance to physically expand the business. By locating within CodeBase we are aligning ourselves with some of the most innovative, creative and ambitious tech companies in Scotland. Occupying the same space, both geographically and culturally, we hope to develop truly symbiotic relationships within the CodeBase environment.”
CodeBase is the UK’s largest tech scaleup incubator, and one of Europe’s fastest growing tech hubs. At the centre of the growing Scottish tech scene, CodeBase offers operator led scaleup education, flexible office and co-working spaces, mentoring, and networking events. The first hub outside of Edinburgh, Codebase Stirling opened in September 2017 and the company hopes it will herald a much larger, UK wide expansion.
“CodeBase are delighted to welcome thinkWhere into the Stirling CodeBase family,” added Steven Drost, Head of Strategy at CodeBase. “22 people strong, thinkWhere is precisely the kind of forward thinking, product focused, tech company we need more of in Scotland. CodeBase Stirling’s community culture of sharing and learning has received a big welcome boost”.
