London Stock Exchange celebrates Tech Nation’s Upscale cohort of 2024

Today, Tech Nation, the UK’s leading growth platform for tech insights, growth support and talent, proudly celebrates the culmination of its Upscale programme at its Investor Reception and Market Close. This special event brings together Tech Nation’s Upscale founders and many of Europe’s leading investors for an afternoon of curated networking in support of the 2024 Upscale cohort’s journey to Series B and beyond.

Now, as part of Founders Forum Group, Tech Nation is poised to empower founders with even greater impetus. Through access to an expanded global network of top-tier entrepreneurs and a direct line to policymakers, corporates, investors, and media partners, Tech Nation is accelerating its mission to support transformative innovation.

Today’s reception celebrates the success of the Upscale programme, a high-impact, three month programme catering to the UK’s most ambitious Series A+ founders and their leadership teams at a critical juncture. The 26 outstanding startups in this year’s Upscale cohort, spanning diverse sectors such as AI, FinTech, AR/VR, CleanTech, Aerospace, HealthTech, and Quantum, have collectively raised an impressive £314 million to date.

Carolyn Dawson, CEO of Tech Nation said: "This moment celebrates not only the achievements of our stellar Upscale cohort but also the thriving UK tech ecosystem that continues to innovate and inspire. We were excited to bring back Tech Nation’s Upscale for 2024, to help more brilliant UK founders and scaleups secure critical Series B funding."

The Reception also highlights the invaluable contributions of Tech Nation’s partners, mentors, and investors, whose collaborative efforts exemplify the power of connections in continuing to drive innovation and investment UK-wide.
