If you’ve not been to our UK Startup & Scaleup Week events before, we recommend going to Day 1 (INSPIRATION) & then at least one other day (below), depending on what stage you are at:

  • Day 2 (GETTING STARTED) = bringing ideas, products & services to life
  • Day 3 (FUNDING & FINANCE) = grants, loans, angel investment, VCs, private equity, banking, accounting
  • Day 4 (GROWING & SCALING) = how to level up in business
  • Day 5 (KEEP GOING OR PIVOT?) = how to keep going & be successful

Tickets are currently just £150 (+ booking fees) for a 5-day wristband but will be increasing to £200 (+ booking fees) on 1st May (so get yours before then to avoid paying more than you need to)!
