Ask HN: Where to look for a quickfire £ 35-40k investment?

8 points by judlaw 5 years ago | 7 comments

This question is predominantly for the UK.

Anybody with pointers on where to look for a quickfire £ 35-40k? We recently won an 220k InnovateUK Grant which is funded at 80%, and are yet to find the other 20%. The starting date is relatively soon i.e. in a month. Since we're quite new to the UK ecosystem, we'd sincerely appreciate any pointers :)

I'd also check with InnovateUK what they accept as 'in kind' funding contributions of resources/time, particularly if you already have an third party potential future client lined up to test the product/project
