Helping create more UK venture-backed scaleup successes.
Working across the investment ecosystem to improve access to scaleup investment for UK founders.
The Problem
The UK produces world-class startups. Too few become scaleups.
Despite record levels of investment into UK tech, only 7% of companies successfully make the leap from startup to scaleup. The gap isn't talent or ambition — it's access. Access to the right preparation, the right investors and the right support at the right time.
