Earlier this week, Beauhurst released their latest report on Diverse Founders in Advanced Digital Technology, where they looked into founder diversity in the UK tech ecosystem.
Beauhurst highlights many areas of differences with regards to gender, age, ethnicity, nationality, and educational background. There are some eye-opening statistics.
The research they conducted in 2022 revealed that over 70% of total equity investment across all five digital tech areas was secured by all-male founder companies. In addition, they found that the median age of founders didn’t affect the equity investment. There was also an increase in investment into mixed nationality founding teams.
Beauhurst goes into detail within each diversity section, giving a larger insight of what is happening in the sector.
