In case you missed it earlier this week, The Times covered our latest findings as part of the UK ScaleUp Investment Mission, in collaboration with Beauhurst, highlighting the alarming decline in Series A funding for UK startups. Key insights include: → Series A funding down 44% YoY, with Q3 seeing a 57% drop from Q2 → 9 out of 10 seed-funded startups can't secure Series A funding → Only 32 UK companies reached Series A in Q3 - a six-year low This decline threatens the UK's hard-won progress in tech innovation and scaleup support. The UK ScaleUp Investment Mission is here to bridge this gap, supporting high-potential UK scaleups by working with the wider ecosystem, including Government, to reverse this trend. For further information on the UK ScaleUp Investment Mission, see Ian Merricks, FBCS FRSA Merricks’ original post linked in the comments.

What’s the deal with ESG? We crunched the numbers to find out. In the fourth quarter of 2023, investment in ESG companies hit a record high, with £2.66b poured into these firms in just three months. In contrast, a decade earlier in 2014, the total annual investment in ESG companies was only £773m. And now, we can reveal that there’s already been £4.86b invested into companies so far this year that hit one of our ESG signals. With Q2 2024 bringing in a huge £2.14b. Beauhurst gives you the tools to easily search for companies committed to ESG values, using our signals feature. Want to know more? Click here: https://lnkd.in/eTnq6exy Or send us a message 💬
