Technology news, comment and analysis | guardian.co.uk Latest news and features from guardian.co.uk, the world's leading liberal voice Google backs TechHub startup centre 6 Jul 2010, 12:00 pm London's newest startup workspace and networking centre for TechHub has just scored sponsorship from Google, it announced today, ahead of the the launch party on Friday and official opening on Monday 12 July. TechHub is based at Silicon Roundabout on Old Street and is already sponsored by Pearson. Membership, with various access to events, cheap hotdesking and room hire, is £300  per year and desk space is £275 per month. For startups who are ready to move out of the spare bedroom but don't want the expense and commitment of a commercial lease, these kind of shared workspaces work well. TechHub is designed to be a central meeting place for visting entrepreneurs and investors, a venue for tech events and networking and shared workspace. A mobile testing lab is also planned, and Google has said it has more planned for the project. Given Google's particular focus on mobile in London, that's likely to be a focus and TechHub would be a likely location for more hack events. That's a pretty simple way to put yourself in the thick of it.
