Spacehive’s vision is to radically change the balance of power in the civic space, putting people and communities in the driving seat.

Our platform rewires the pathways to changing the fabric of communities – empowering popular project ideas to attract funding from both the crowd and institutional co-funders in one place.

Spacehive supports a diverse mix of projects across the UK, covering everything from transforming a local playground, sprucing up a park, bringing an old building back to life or even creating something completely new like putting a waterslide down the high street or turning an old flyover into a park.

So far, Spacehive has raised over £2 million in investment and has partnered with the Mayor of London and big companies like Barclays to build its impact. We are proud to have won awards from the Big Venture Challenge, Nesta, UnLtd, Deloitte Pioneers, and Downing Street.

Having rigorously tested the viability of our model, we are now looking forward to the challenge of scaling our service and helping thousands more communities to make places better.


Spacehive are looking for an experienced Chair to join the board to guide us through a period of high growth.

An ambitious, hands-on leader, you will have an impressive track record of helping to navigate companies or initiatives to scale that bear similarities to ours.

You will have commercial and start-up nous as well as an instinctive understanding of the community and public-facing focus of our work and its potential to create social impact.

You will have a deep understanding of the power of technology to change systems and cultures. And you will relish the opportunity to play a critical role in seeing us through to our full potential.
