FundedIQ holds 13 funded startups in Herefordshire and keeps their funding rounds, amounts, investors, industries, locations and company details up to date. This page provides an overview of the startup funding landscape in Herefordshire, along with the 13 most recently funded startups there.

Biotechnology, Artificial Intelligence and Commerce and Shopping hold the most companies by sector. Stevenage and Hereford hold the deepest concentrations of funded startups in Herefordshire. Startups in Herefordshire closed 5 funding rounds over the last 24 months, 1 of them in the last 12 months, and raised $674M in disclosed capital. The median disclosed round is $3.0M, with the middle half of rounds falling between $680K and $5.7M.

Biotechnology and Artificial Intelligence dominate the local funding activity. Early stage labels and small team sizes indicate a heavy reliance on seed capital. Local angel groups and specialized venture firms lead these rounds. This concentration of early backing means founders are often seeking initial scale and technical partnerships rather than late stage growth capital.

About the FundedIQ Herefordshire startup funding data

FundedIQ tracks announced startup funding rounds and organises them by company, funding date, stage, amount, industry, location and investor. The dataset is refreshed weekly, and new rounds are normalised and de-duplicated before they are published, so the same round reported twice on different dates is recorded once.

Figures on this page cover the 13 funded startups in Herefordshire currently tracked. Round counts, capital totals and the median round are computed over a trailing 24 months. Rounds whose amount was not disclosed (0 of 5 in that period) are counted as rounds but excluded from capital totals and from the median. The most recent round on record for funded startups in Herefordshire is dated Jun 2026.

The table above shows the 13 most recently funded companies. Full funding histories, investor lists and founder contacts across the whole dataset open on a FundedIQ plan.
