A competition for innovative, early-stage UK tech start-ups has opened to new applications.

15 September 2021/Categories: Grants_and_Funding

Rising Stars 4.0 is a competition for innovative, early-stage tech start-ups, with a prize package designed to take successful businesses to the next level. The programme provides an opportunity to connect start-ups with mentors, investors and influencers, and raise the profile of participant businesses.

A bespoke package of support has been put together, including:

  • The opportunity to showcase the company to investors, accelerators, entrepreneurs, corporate leaders and the UK tech community.
  • Tech Nation content campaigns and press coverage to raise the profile of the business.
  • Pitch training and coaching by Pitch for Success.
  • Networking with potential investors at the Rising Stars VC Office Hours.
  • Induction into the Tech Nation alumni network.

The competition culminates in the top 20 companies being showcased and promoted to an audience of investors, corporates, influencers and the wider tech ecosystem. The judging panel will then deliberate over the final 20, selecting 10 companies to be named as this year’s Rising Stars, who will feature in a high-profile celebration event on 24 March 2022.

Ambitious UK-based digital tech start-ups looking to grow and scale-up their operations may apply. They must have been trading for 1-3 years with a product or service to sell and at least one active client or pilot.

How To Apply

This programme operates on an annual basis.

Applications for Rising Stars 4.0 are now open. Applications close on 20 October 2021.

Shortlisting will take place later in the year. Applicants will then be contacted by to confirm shortlisting and progression to the semi-final.
