Spotlighting start-ups and scale-ups across the UK.

We’re a national event series that spotlights the most promising start-ups and scale-ups across the UK.

Our events bring together local stakeholders, investors and business leaders to hear local start-ups and scale-ups pitch their business.

The best businesses from the regional finals will be invited to London for an event series finale where we will look to create an international platform for the best start-ups and scale-ups.

What’s our mission?

Regional businesses are undervalued and don’t get the attention they deserve - we want to change that. Our goal is to boost investment into start-ups and scale-ups to improve the flow of early-stage capital in regions of the UK, outside of London.

Take a look through our 2024 events.
