About

Sam Liu is an entrepreneur, mentor, and changemaker dedicated to empowering young people and building bridges between communities, industries, and opportunities. As the Founder of TechStart, Sam has pioneered innovative programmes that equip graduates and NEETs (young people not in education, employment, or training) with the skills, experience, and confidence to thrive in today’s competitive job market.

Born in Taiwan and now based in the UK, Sam combines a deep understanding of global perspectives with a passion for making a local impact. His vision stems from his belief in creating meaningful change through education, employment, and collaboration. TechStart embodies this philosophy, helping individuals unlock their potential, secure rewarding careers, and contribute to their communities.

Sam’s journey has been defined by a commitment to practical solutions and a focus on people. From working with industry leaders to developing programmes that transform lives, he is driven by the idea that sustainable success comes from enabling others. He believes that young people—when given the right tools and opportunities—are not only capable of shaping their own futures but also of influencing the world around them for the better.

Beyond TechStart, Sam is an active member of the community, serving on advisory boards, leading international delegations, and collaborating with universities, businesses, and government bodies. Whether mentoring the next generation, designing initiatives that challenge systemic barriers, or sharing his experiences as a speaker, Sam remains committed to building a brighter, more inclusive future for all.

For Sam, entrepreneurship isn’t just about business; it’s about creating pathways for others to succeed. His work continues to inspire individuals and organisations alike, proving that with the right support, anyone can turn potential into achievement.
