Investment into the UK’s Spinout Companies
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.”
