It is a unique investment vehicle made up from organisations with established reputations in growing and nurturing start up businesses, taking new technologies and developing them into market ready products and providing vital venture capital.
The businesses who make up Upstarts are Strathclyde University Incubator Ltd, Wide Blue and Innova Partnerships. We also partner with The Scottish Co-Investment Fund which matches our investment levels – click here for more info.
Our investment packages of up to £300K are made up of £150K from Upstarts’ partners with matched funding from The Scottish Co-Investment Fund.
We fill that elusive first stage funding gap many technology and life sciences companies meet between the birth of the business and reaching the stage of being 'market ready'.
We know early stage funding is very often the most difficult stage but we also know that it is not always just cash that technology businesses require. This is where Upstarts is different from others.
We believe this is the best package available to young technology businesses and we want to hear from you.
