6/ When institutional money and tax headroom both lean up the ladder, the first cheque doesn't disappear. It's the part that still needs specialists. Angels Den has backed that stage since 2007.

[Angels Den Funding @AngelsDen]

UK startups raised $7.8bn last quarter, the strongest first quarter since 2022. Almost none of it reached the first cheque.

5/ How much seed money actually moved in 2025 is disputed. The squeeze isn't in one number. It's in the gap between record formation and a capital base that rewards the later, larger end.

£10.5bn raised in UK venture. Four months. Double last year.

Deal volume is down. The money is concentrating.

This week:

→ Fresha £59.6M- KKR backs consumer SaaS
→ Multiverse £52M- enterprise buying workforce AI
→ Ebury £550M- payments infrastructure wins again
→ Infrawatch £2.2M pre-seed- cyber at formation stage

The Series B founders of 2028 are raising today.

Investor takeaway: SEIS/EIS activity is growing, but education still matters.

Founder takeaway: show why your market is moving now. Tax incentives, AI adoption and defensible data all help diligence.

→ Meatly raised £10.4M. Cultivated meat infrastructure. Regulatory approval already in hand.

If there was ever a better example of how to perfectly build in public, this is it.
