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.

The UK ScaleUp Investment Mission

VenturePath's mission goes beyond supporting individual founders. We work with investors, policymakers, ecosystem partners and founder communities to surface high-potential scaleups, improve access to scaleup investment, create the conditions for more UK companies to realise their global potential - and celebrate their success.
