In collaboration with Parkwalk, we’ve analysed the equity investments made into UK spinouts to spot emerging trends and patterns.
Parkwalk comments
“This report reinforces our view that despite world-leading research, UK “Deep Tech” is still hugely underfunded at the scale-up stage. Time and again we see extremely innovative companies raising early stage funding and then hitting the “Valley of Death” at Series B or C. This leads to huge lost opportunities for the UK: The successful companies often lose their technical lead to better funded international rivals or are sold to international acquirers, losing the benefits to the UK: the knowledge, skill sets, employment and taxes.”
