4 UK Funding Rounds We Reported First, May 2026

Funding Spotter tracks every SH01 share-allotment filing at UK Companies House, which means we publish many UK funding rounds before, or instead of, the tech press. This list bundles 4 UK rounds (totalling £4.7M) where Funding Spotter was either the first or the only source to report.
