Information for Investors

Mentorship Opportunities

51³Ô¹ÏÍø startups have benefitted enormously from the advice and expertise of qualified industry mentors and we are keen to continue to build such relationships. 

Mentoring a startup offers investors and industry experts an opportunity to gain on-the-ground insight into new developments within a certain industry sector, the chance to meet and develop new talent, and a way to flex their creative muscles.

Risks and rewards of investing in startups

Investing in any new business, and especially high technology or science-focused businesses, is a high-risk activity. We strongly advise potential investors to take advice from a specialist in startup investment authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 before making an investment into any project.

51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Startup team does not provide investment advice and presents business plans and proposals for information only, without making any recommendations to potential investors. Startup success is difficult to predict, and the success of past startups does not indicate or predict the success of others.
