Silicon Valley Scale

Each year, FutureX accepts a cohort of rising tech leaders on its Silicon Valley Scale programme. The programme connects participants with some of the global tech industry’s top figures and offers a chance to pitch to potential investors.

Previous cohorts have met with executives from global tech companies including Facebook, Airbnb and Y Combinator.

Programme alumni include some of Britain’s leading technology entrepreneurs who, collectively, have raised more than £50 million in funding. These include Andrew Parfery, founder of Edinburgh-based Care Sourcer, Chris McCann, founder of Current Health, Tarryn Gore, founder, Kafoodle and Scott Weir, founder of Pillow Property Partners.

For UK-based entrepreneurs and early-stage tech startups, the programme is a valuable opportunity to connect with some of the best the global tech industry has to offer.
