Portfolio company Antler reported that 2,600 individuals from over 30 different nationalities applied for this London-based cohort, a 50% rise from the previous year. After conducting 440 face-to-face interviews, 71 founders were selected for the program, half of whom had previously launched a startup. Just over half of the companies that raised money (four out of seven) have at least one woman founder, which the VC points out is above the London average of 21%.
The seven portfolio companies in the UK include: Glaize, a D2C startup transforming nail care into a plastic-free alternative; Liminal Health, which provides coaching to patients with long-term health conditions; Mast, a cloud-native mortgage origination system; MetaLynx, developing virtual sponsorship for sports; Noah, an all-in-one solution for video content; PriceBring, a B2B marketplace for independent retailers and “corner shops” to save costs; Scribe, a fintech startup in the lending and investment space.
