Recently Funded Pre-Seed Startups in the United Kingdom

FundedIQ tracks 575 funded Pre-Seed startups in the United Kingdom. This page lists the 100 most recently funded of them, ordered by the date of their latest round, and the full set is available on a FundedIQ plan.

Pre-Seed startups in the United Kingdom tracked by FundedIQ have raised $303M in disclosed capital across 259 funding rounds over the last 24 months, including 134 rounds in the last 12 months. 214 of those 259 rounds disclosed an amount; undisclosed rounds are excluded from the capital total.

Artificial Intelligence has the most, with 128 companies, followed by Financial Services (63), Information Technology (32) and Apps (31). Sector counts include every company assigned that industry, and a company can carry more than one.

London leads with 436 companies, then Manchester (16), Cambridge (9) and Cardiff (9).

The median disclosed round over the last 24 months is $910K, and the middle half of rounds fall between $470K and $1.9M. Round sizes vary widely by stage, so the seed and later-stage bands sit well either side of that figure.

The dataset is refreshed weekly. New rounds are normalised and de-duplicated before they are published, and the most recent round currently on record for funded Pre-Seed startups in the United Kingdom is dated Aug 2026. Counts and totals on this page are recomputed on every refresh.
