The UK startup scene, particularly within the Angel Investment industry, has been growing exponentially as innovative and forward-thinking entrepreneurs have seized opportunities in the market. Particularly in uncertain times, even startups themselves have begun to operate within this field, recognising the importance of supporting other young companies. This article will highlight a selection of these, all established in 2020 or later, which are making waves in this budding industry across the UK.
These startups vary greatly in their product offerings, ranging from technology aimed at simplifying the investment process, financial service companies, digital health and med-tech investments, and even an emphasis on supporting companies making social shifts. The underlying thread tying all these separate elements together is their shared goal of stimulating and sustaining the UK’s robust startup ecosystem.
