Why sclr

The room is investors and founders only, with no observer seats. Founders from outside the UK compete in a global online heat, UK founders in a London final. The series runs from the sclr Venture Hub at Elementa Workspace, the London residency for Seed and Series A founders, where finalists Unravel Health and SurgeryAI are residents. Companies past Series A work with the sclr Advisory Hub on go-to-market, expansion and scale-up.
