The Future Fifty is the UK’s leading late-stage growth programme for tech companies, and has become almost a rite of passage for many of the nation’s most successful and innovative scaleups. Operated by Tech Nation and powered by Founders Forum, the Future Fifty supports founders with international expansion efforts and connects their senior leadership teams to networks of peers and mentors. To date it has supported over 30% of our nation’s unicorns and 40% of our decacorns, with our alumni collectively raising more than £77bn and counting.
Designed to be more experiential than academic, the Future Fifty is industry agnostic, by invitation only, and inducts 25 companies twice a year. Programme highlights include a bespoke supper-club for the c-suite, founder missions to Dubai, Singapore, and New York, and the annual Future Fifty Forum.
