‘We need more #deeptech funds … we need very technical #fund managers’ said Christine Hockley of the Sheffield-based British Business Bank, the UK government’s economic development bank, at the #SiftedSummit

I’ve seen how funding can either unlock growth or become a tech founder’s biggest challenge The difference between them is being investor-ready Here’s how we help our tech clients access the right funding opportunities and stand out to investors: ✅ SEIS/EIS tax relief schemes significantly reduce investor risk, making your startup far more attractive to Angel investors and VCs ✅ Messy numbers, unrealistic forecasts or missing documentation are a major red flag, no matter how promising your product is ✅ R&D tax credits can extend your runway without giving up equity; they require precision, especially in how your finances are structured and presented The founders who raise successfully in this market start preparing months in advance, know their numbers and understand the landscape they’re raising in If you’re planning to raise in the next 6–12 months, now is the time to get investor-ready #M.TatarandAssociates #TechFounders #AccountingUK #SEIS #EIS #R&D

Financing remains one of the biggest hurdles for #lastmiledistributors (LMDs), and that’s why we designed the GDC Access to Finance Accelerator. A programme that equips LMDs with skills, tools, and confidence to access the right kind of capital and unlock their full potential. 🔓 ℹ️Over a few months, participating GDC members explored topics like investor and lender engagement strategies, due diligence and negotiating debt deals, unit economics, among others. ⏭️They completed the programme with immediate changes to implement in their companies, and some, including Wisdom Energy Hub, Rafode (Rural Agency for Development), Ajat Agro-Allied Limited, and Popo, shared their key takeaways. Check them out below.🔻 👌🏾We’re proud of the impact our Access to Finance Accelerator is already having on our members’ financing journeys and can’t wait to witness more growth from them. A huge thanks to GET.invest for supporting our 2025 Access to Finance Accelerator.
