120+ Most Active UK VCs: The Database for Founders Raising in the UK 🇬🇧
Exclusive Database: 120+ Most Active UK VCs for 2026
UK venture capital quietly turned a corner in 2025.
UK startups and scaleups raised $23.6 billion in VC funding, a 35% increase on 2024 and the first annual growth in four years, according to HSBC Innovation Banking analysis.
That makes 2025 the third highest year on record for UK startup funding.
Behind the headline is a power shift.
Thirty six megarounds of $100 million or more drove much of the rebound.
AI startups alone raised $7.9 billion, up from $4.4 billion in 2024, with AI accounting for 33% of all UK VC investment, up from 25% the year before.
Fintech remained the most funded sector, attracting $6.6 billion across more than 300 rounds in 2025.
Geographically, the UK remains highly concentrated but not London only.
London attracted $17.7 billion in venture capital, while Cambridge and Oxford drew $2.2 billion and $707 million respectively.
At the same time, early stage is structurally healthier than the headlines suggest.
In H1 2025, UK tech VC funding reached $7 billion, with Q1 2025 alone at $4.2 billion, up 8% year on year.
The opportunity is clear:
There is real capital in the UK, but founders waste time pitching misaligned funds by stage, geography or sector.
