** Funding
------------------------------------------------------------


** =F0=9F=92=B0Funding (What Happens Next?)
------------------------------------------------------------

Many of you end up bootstrapping for longer. Whether that=E2=80=99s relyin=
g on personal savings or leaning on friends and family.

And while that can work for some=2C for many it slows things down or stops=
 things before they=E2=80=99ve even really started.

That=E2=80=99s why this moment matters to us.

We=E2=80=99re incredibly proud to have now delivered over
=C2=A3100 million in funding to founders across the UK=2C and to be unlock=
ing a further =C2=A320 million to support even more of you this year.

Because we believe every aspiring entrepreneur wherever you=E2=80=99re bas=
ed in the UK=2C whatever your background=2C should have the chance to turn=
 an idea into something real.

If the webinar this week sparked something=2C don=E2=80=99t let it stop th=
ere. If you didn=E2=80=99t get a chance to attend but are still interested=
 in learning more about how to fund your business then the most valuable n=
ext step isn=E2=80=99t more content.

It=E2=80=99s a quick 15-minutes conversation to understand more about it a=
nd whether you=E2=80=99re ready to take the next step.

As one founder put it:

=E2=80=9CIt never felt transactional. It felt human.=E2=80=9D
