London Startup Ecosystem

Home to Europe’s largest startup ecosystem, worth $314 billion, London’s rapidly growing startup scene shows no sign of slowing down.

Despite the UK’s departure from the EU, London remains one of the top cities in the world to gain access to capital. The UK capital has Europe’s highest concentration of VC funds with a strong presence from local and international investors. Median series A rounds is $6.2 million.

Access to top talent helps London’s startups find the people they need to grow. The city is home to 4 of the world’s leading universities, providing a vast pool of talent with skills in the STEM disciplines. This access to new talent, consultants, and experts attract world-class entrepreneurs to the city.

London’s connectedness and investment in startup infrastructures, incubators, and accelerators all help contribute to a thriving ecosystem. Government policy also favors entrepreneurship, with multiple funds available to founders who want to solve the city’s most pressing problems. There’s been a significant move towards clean tech in the London startup scene.

FinTech remains London’s biggest startup sector thanks to the city’s strong financial services industry, an abundance of expertise, and legal infrastructure. There are over 2,500 FinTech companies based in London, including unicorns like Wise and Revolut.

Another huge area for investment in the London startup ecosystem is in EdTech, with thousands of attendees from all over the world visiting London’s annual EdTech Week.

GrowthMentor was built upon the idea that every situation is unique, so generic courses and blog posts just don’t cut it sometimes.

To actually solve your issue you need to connect with someone who’s “been there done that” and have a back-and-forth conversation about the particular roadblock you are facing at this very moment.

Here are some tips.

Come into this with realistic expectations. They’re mentors, not magicians.
Ask your mentor if they’d be ok with you recording your screen with Loom
Give contextual information to help paint the picture of your current situation.
Growth mentors will be asking you lots of questions, answer them as openly as possible.
Don’t be afraid to push the boundaries of question-asking.
Be inquisitive. Stories are gold.
Don’t feel pressure, just relax.
Try to form mental patterns, especially if you speak with multiple mentors.
Embrace alternative views. Ask the mentors to challenge your assumptions.
Be friendly. If you’re likable, the mentors will be your biggest supporters (even after the call is over).

Use dynamic filters to find the perfect mentor for you with the right expertise, language, time zone, and availability you need.
