The broader UK funding landscape has shown resilience and growth in the tech sector. In 2025, UK startups collectively raised $17.2 billion across 1,847 funding rounds, marking a 12% increase from 2024. The UK maintained its position as Europe's leading venture capital market, attracting approximately 40% of all European startup funding. Early-stage funding, which would encompass rounds like those secured by Practeus Ltd, reached $6.4 billion in 2025, although this represented a 19% decline compared to the $7.9 billion raised in 2024. Looking into 2026, the first quarter saw $9.45 billion raised across 415 equity funding rounds in the UK, a 15.1% rise compared to the same period in 2025. While London remains a dominant hub, other UK cities are increasingly attracting venture capital.
