Cracking Britain’s scale-up challenge is now more important than ever. A difficult year in VC markets have meant that once available capital is more restricted. Government efforts to open new investment options from pension funds and institutional investors are the right policies, but it will take time.
Scale-ups have enormous potential, an analysis of the 100 scale-ups within techUK’s own membership shows a potential growth rate of 36.5%. techUK‘s group of tech scale-ups having doubled the number of people they employ over the past five years and could employ as many as 20,000 people in the near future.
Join us for this session as we explore the main challenges and opportunities for scale-ups as they look to raise investment for their business.
We'll hear firsthand from scaleups on their experiences of raising investment and gain practical insights from investors and finance providers as they outline their priorities and insights when investing in later-stage companies.
