Accelerate the Commercial Success of Your
Portfolio
Founders Match connects your best startups with enterprise organisations and governments through structured, AI-driven innovation networks. De-risk your investments and drive revenue.
The Scaleup Bottleneck
Even well-funded startups struggle to reach enterprise customers. Long sales cycles, fragmented ecosystems, and lack of direct C-suite access drastically slow down commercial traction and increase portfolio risk.
No Direct Access
Cold outreach fails. Startups lack systematic access to the £50-500M innovation budgets of global corporates.
Innovation Drain
30% of European unicorns relocate to the US simply because they cannot find the right enterprise customers at home.
Value Leakage
$375B in growth-stage value has leaked across the Atlantic in the last decade.
Prolonged Traction
Without enterprise exposure, commercial traction takes too long, impacting runway and future funding rounds.
