The Breakthrough Founders Accelerator
We help the founders who'll capture it get funded.
If the UK backed its women founders the way it backs men, the Rose Review put the prize at £200bn – £250bn added to the economy. The 200Bn Club is how that capital reaches the founders the market overlooks — and how investors reach the talent they're mispricing.
Two doors below.
The prize
Less than 2p of every £1 of UK venture capital reaches a female-founded business. Around 80% goes to all-male teams. Yet female-led businesses return roughly 35% more, and a third of UK entrepreneurs are women — an untapped engine that could add more than a million new businesses. The talent performs; yet the capital follows familiarity. Close that gap and the Rose Review's forecast stops being a forecast and becomes a market.

"If in the UK women started and scaled businesses at the same rate as men, £200+ billion would be added to the UK economy."
The engine
We diagnose a founder's business the way an investor would, hand them the exact work to close the gaps, then put the ones who are ready in front of the investors who fit them.
01
The Fundability Review scores six pillars investors weigh, and names the gaps with reasoning attached.
02
The Playbooks close those gaps, matched to stage and sector, ranked in order.
03
Founders rebuild on real investor logic, not guesswork.
04
We introduce ready founders to investors by stage, sector and cheque size.
For founders
Before you pitch, see your business the way the investor will. Your Fundability Review gives you an Investor Readiness Score, the gaps costing you the round with the investor's reasoning, and a dated 90-day plan. The VC Investment Memo gives you the verdict itself — a 14-section, IC-grade read ending in a real call: Back, Lean In, Conditions or Pass.
One assessment. Two reports in 24 hours. No interviews.
For investors
We bring you founders the market overlooks and the data underrates — scored on the same logic you'd apply, benchmarked against funded UK startups, and matched to your stage, sector and cheque size. Meet only the founders worth your time.

"The review is INSANELY good. It made me think I can't believe I was considering talking to investors at all yet."
"For the first time, I got honest feedback on every aspect of my business instead of a polite rejection. They showed me exactly what blocks funding and gave me a concrete roadmap to fix it."
"It reads like the notes from a rigorous pre-seed investor, and I found it both encouraging and highly actionable."
Who we are
Between us we've spent more than twenty years raising, building and investing, and watching up close how the money actually gets handed out. The same scene repeats: a strong founder with a real business, turned away or quietly passed over, never told why, left to guess. We didn't want to write another report about the problem. We wanted to hand founders the thing the system keeps back — the honest read, the investor's real reasoning, and a plan to act on it before the meeting, not after.
