Following a short hiatus due to the coronavirus, Small Business and Worth Capital have partnered to reopen the UK’s largest seed funding competition — The Start-Up Series.
The Start-Up Series competition
The Start-Up Series competition was launched in 2016 by Worth Capital, with the aim of searching for the brightest entrepreneurs with the smartest ideas to invest real cash into these promising start-ups.
From September 1st 2020, The Start-Up Series competition in association with Small Business is back and will open for applications at the beginning of every month.
Each month one or two winners will be selected to receive a prize package consisting of:
• Up to £250,000 of SEIS/EIS equity funding.
• A minimum of 2 years invaluable hands-on help from experienced mentors.
• Media coverage on smallbusiness.co.uk and other channels to promote your business.
We are on the hunt for B2B or B2C business across all sectors. As long as your business is eligible for SEIS or EIS HMRC advance assurance, then we’ll consider your application.
We’ll be impressed by innovative products or services, in high growth or underserved markets, with the potential to build a loved brand. If you can demonstrate these, you’re in with a fighting chance.
