Start-ups

CEE – helping start ups scale and go global

CEE has a vibrant start-up scene, but this is not always matched by in-depth understanding of how to grow in international markets.  In our CEE programme, we focus on just that.  We help guide companies through that process and also connect them with the investment ecosystems in other markets, be that in the UK, in Germany or elsewhere. 

The equIP team in CEE works with a group of carefully selected start-ups to support their growth, helping them develop into strong Series A candidates, be that in their local markets, and/or the international markets they are looking to move into or seek investment from.
