Sponsorship opportunities · 2027
Connect with the founders building, raising and scaling what's next.
Two Days. Up to 500 application-only tech founders, from pre-seed to Series A, learning how to raise money and meeting the people who can help them do it. Put your brand in the room before, on and after the day.
Why this summit
The Industrial Revolution started here. The next one will too.
The Founders Funding Summit brings together 500 ambitious tech founders at every stage of the journey: first-time founders turning a bold idea into an investable business, and growing teams getting ready for their next round. For two days they learn exactly how funding works, sharpen their pitch and meet the partners who will help them grow. Every place is by application and every founder has invested in a ticket, so the room is full of decision-makers ready to do business with you.
Central to the North, the South, Wales and Scotland.
Home to companies such as Capgemini and Coforge, and a growing defence-tech cluster.
Built for founders across the UK, not just the capital.
