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

Connecting you with local, regional, London based and international investors.

Our mission

Get your business in the spotlight. Our goal is to boost investment into start-ups and scale-ups to improve the flow of early-stage capital across the UK.

We aim to create a platform for the best start-up and scale-up businesses in each region to access local, regional, London-based and international investors. 

How will we do it?

Applications

After you apply to pitch at one of the semi-final events, applications will be filtered to choose businesses to pitch in front of a judging panel at their regional heat. 

Semi-finals

In the semi-finals, you will pitch in front of a judging panel. If you are successful, you will progress to the regional final where you will pitch in front of an audience of local stakeholders, active investors and business leaders.

Finals

If you are successful at one of the regional finals, you will be invited to pitch at the final event in London where we aim to create an international platform.
