Great British Scaleups is the next evolution of our hugely successful Little British Battler (LBB) programme, which brought over 100 UK tech SMEs to the attention of the wider market.
As a result of particpating, many LBBs were able to develop their businesses further, spurred on by the increased market visibility and kudos that participation in the LBB programme brought them.
The TechMarketView Great British Scaleup programme (GBS) seeks to assist fast-growing UK tech SMEs grow even faster!
The programme offers a unique opportunity for fast-growing companies to develop their potential by tapping into the knowledge and experience of TechMarketView’s analysts along with experts from our Advisory Sponsor, ScaleUp Group.
ScaleUp Group is an elite team of successful tech entrepreneurs and seasoned executives chaired by respected industry luminary, John O’Connell. ScaleUp Group helps take successful technology start-ups to an even higher level of achievement in terms of capability and international growth. This is achieved through a unique combination of support, advice and finance provided by serial entrepreneurs who have been on similar journeys. ScaleUp Group members have an enviable track record of scaling up British tech companies, resulting in exits worth in aggregate over £4bn.
We are also proud to have techUK, the industry association representing technology businesses operating in the UK, as Official Supporter of the Great British Scaleup programme.
Successful applicants will be invited to join us at a Great British Scaleup Pre-Qualification Sesssion. This is an intensive 60-to-90-minute, closed-door workshop-style session to discuss your business plans and prospects in confidence with TechMarketView analysts and ScaleUp Group advisors. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity for further discussion with ScaleUp Group advisors to see if they can help you raise external funding if required for your scale-up plans.
Participating companies will enjoy invaluable exposure in TechMarketView UKHotViews, along with coverage in selected TechMarketView research.

However, consideration would be given to autonomous subsidiaries which the parent company intends to divest so long as they meet the other GBS qualification criteria.
GBS is designed to assist UK-registered companies where control and decision-making is made in the UK.
