Top 10 Pre-Seed and Seed Funds for UK Startups

Why We Made This Guide

As a law firm working exclusively with startups and scaleups, we work with early-stage founders every day — from setting up their companies to supporting them through funding rounds. One of the questions we’re asked most is: “Who should we speak to when we’re ready to raise?”

So, we’ve put together a list of ten early-stage investors we think are genuinely founder-friendly, active at pre-seed and seed, and making a real positive impact on the UK startup ecosystem.

These are the funds we hear about again and again — from clients who raised with them, from term sheets we’ve reviewed, and from deals we’ve helped close.
