Thank you for taking the time to complete this investor profile.

Breakthrough Founders is a national Innovate UK–backed initiative launched on September 15th and led by The 200Bn Club in partnership with Catalyst, Focused for Business, and Mint Ventures.

Designed for underrepresented founders, the programme aims to accelerate funding for a minimum of 45 startups.

Over 1,200 startups are expected to apply to the Breakthrough Founders programme, and we’ve already received close to 900 applications since September 2025.

From these, 150 founders will be selected across four tailored funding pathways - Angel, Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A.

We know you’re approached by hundreds of founders every month - many outside your focus or required traction.

This short profile ensures that when a startup reaches you, you’ll know it’s already been reviewed, filtered, and aligned with your stated investment criteria.

By completing this form, you’ll:

- Receive only relevant opportunities that match your fund or personal mandate

- Save time by avoiding cold, unqualified outreach

- Build visibility across the Breakthrough Founders and Innovate UK Inclusive Investment Pathways network as an active investor open to aligned opportunities

Your data is used solely for founder - investor matching and can be updated or removed at any time.

The form takes around 3 minutes to complete. The more precise your answers, the stronger the match quality.
