Introducing Invest How Now to support the UK startup ecosystem

The UK early-stage market is shifting. Data current to Q2 2025.

London accounted for around half of UK deals and nearly two thirds of capital raised in early 2025.

Why it matters: capital is concentrated. Fit-first search helps teams find relevant angels instead of chasing long lists.

HMRC received 3,195 SEIS advance assurance requests in 2024–25. 85% were approved by March 2025.

Why it matters: early UK rounds often hinge on SEIS readiness. Clear guidance and checklists reduce back and forth.

The median time from Seed to Series A reached 616 days in Q2 2025.

Why it matters: longer gaps between rounds make time precious. Showing fit before the first call cuts wasted cycles.
