Tech Nation is back with the help of Founders Forum Group to champion founders and inject £10bn into startups over the next five years.
In brief:
-10 months after the UK’s tech growth platform announced it would have to close after losing its £12m digital growth grant to Barclays bank, “Tech Nation 2.0” will carry over four of its previous startup growth programmes.
-HSBC Innovation Banking, formerly Silicon Valley Bank, has come on board as a founding partner, and will help facilitate £10bn into startups with Founders Forum.
-Part of the revived organisation’s mission is to produce data-driven reports on the tech ecosystem to equip founders to drive growth.
What does this mean?
“Our mission is to build a world in which all tech entrepreneurs have access to the knowledge and communities they need to succeed,” Founders Forum Group CEO Carolyn Dawson OBE said.
