Since the very very beginning of our adventure of supporting passionate entrepreneurs and their growing businesses, ‘obtaining funding’ has always been at the top of the things we’ve been asked to help with.

Whilst traditionally there are the three Fs*, angel investors, venture capitalists, and bank loans; there is also a powerful new contender that’s been challenging the way businesses raise capital, using the crowd.

If you’ve heard of crowd-funding, you’ve also probably seen that there are over 100 investment based crowdfunding platforms in the UK alone. Not really ideal for entrepreneurs who are already juggling development, design, partnerships, staff, and a million other things.

This is why we are so super excited to introduce you to our newest partners UP, a company in London who consolidate deals for the top debt & equity crowdfunding sites, allowing for founders to raise investment faster and easier.

Their algorithms help founders choose the right crowdfunding platform dependant on their needs and benchmarked data of what has worked well, and where. They also let investors manage their investments across all the crowdfunding sites on their platform, which is a plus for founders, as there’s even more exposure for each fund raising campaign.

Within the coming weeks, registered guests at any of our partner spaces will be able to connect their included.co profiles and organisations to UP, putting an extensive search for alternative funding a simple click away.
