Raising your game

The majority of start ups need funding to scale up but most of them don’t meet the criteria that investors are looking for in order to de-risk their investment to the extent that they’ll write them a cheque.

And on the investor side of the equation, the volume of investments taken on board is in part limited by the sheer amount of manpower required to not only examine and interrogate every start up proposal that comes across analysts desks but to then work alongside the successful ones as they go on their growth journey.

Through the introduction of our platform, the ambition is that start ups will be able to sharpen their game, becoming much more attractive to investors.

And for investors, certain aspects of what they currently do manually will be automated, simplified and positioned in such a way to increase deal flow on the way in and increase the pay offs on the way out.

Scaling is failing

In the UK 90% of start ups fail to scale.

Now no-one is to blame for that, we’re just stuck with a set of circumstances that limits what can be achieved. Sadly, the consequences of those limitations are huge – innovation stalls, business is held back, and vast amounts of potential remain unrealised.

With the introduction of our platform, even if we achieve an uplift of just 1% in start ups scaling up that will result in 4,500 additional scale ups, 400,000 new jobs, £185 billion extra enterprise revenue on UK plc’s bottom line.
