Welcoming International Early Stage Founders In The UK
The UK has one of the best tech ecosystems globally, with a growing numbers of international founders coming from all over the world. Yet it can still be a difficult place for new immigrant or refugee founders lacking the necessary contacts and network.
We are setting up a bridge linking early-stage startups on their way to the UK and the leading investors within the local ecosystem. Between May and August 2022 you will have an opportunity to schedule an informal 1-2-1 calls with some of the leading VC players of the UK's ecosystem. This is an excellent way to expand your network, get feedback on your pitch or ask questions.
How Does It Work?Please read carefully!
International Founders Open Office Hours is first and foremost about building bridges. We strongly advice do not treat this opportunity as a purely fundraising.
It is the way for you to obtain feedback on your startups, advice as to specific issues you may have, inside track into the UK's markets and indeed build contacts with your potential future investors. All of these from some of the biggest names in UK's early stage investments scene. Great, so whats comes next?
