About

We Built the Platform British Founders Actually Deserve.

The UK is home to Europe's largest startup ecosystem. Billions in venture capital flow through it every year. Thousands of founders are quietly building world-class companies from London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, and beyond.

And yet — for a long time — there was no prestige media brand that truly belonged to them.

No publication that told their stories with the depth they deserved. No verified directory that gave them credibility beyond a Crunchbase listing. No editorial home built specifically for the people doing the hard work of building British businesses.

What We Are

EP+ (EntrepreneurPlus) is the UK's founder-first digital magazine and verified startup directory.

We are not a news aggregator. We are not pay-to-play. We are not another generic business publication that treats startups as a footnote.

We are a prestige editorial brand — independently minded, rigorously verified, and unapologetically obsessed with the founders, investors, and operators building the next generation of British companies.

Our Mission

To be the definitive editorial home and discovery platform for the next generation of UK founders — where ambition meets authority.

We believe every founder building something real deserves to be seen. Not just the unicorns. Not just the London-headquartered, VC-backed, PR-agencies-on-retainer ones. Every founder — in every city, every sector, every stage — who is doing the unglamorous, relentless work of building something from nothing.

We cover them. We verify them. We platform them.

What We Cover

EP+ publishes across five editorial pillars — each designed to serve a specific need of the UK startup community:

Founder Stories In-depth profiles, interviews, and editorial investigations into the journeys behind Britain's most ambitious startups. Personal, narrative-driven, and built to last. Not press releases. Real stories.

Funding & Capital The intelligence founders actually need to raise — UK funding round coverage, VC landscape analysis, SEIS and EIS guides, and data-led deep dives into where the money is moving.

Sector Spotlights From FinTech to HealthTech, AI to CleanTech — we map the UK's most exciting sectors with research, rankings, and a genuine point of view. Because not all startups are the same, and neither are the ecosystems they're building in.

Ecosystem Intel Your weekly briefing on what matters in the UK startup world — policy changes, ecosystem shifts, event roundups, and the signals that most publications miss.

Startup Toolkit Practical, no-nonsense guides for founders at every stage. How to raise. How to hire. How to navigate UK employment law. How to apply for Innovate UK funding. Written for founders, not lawyers.

The EP+ Startup Directory

The EP+ Startup Directory is the only editorially verified directory of UK startups.

Every listing is reviewed by our editorial team before it goes live. We check Companies House registration, founder identity, website legitimacy, and funding claims — because a directory is only worth something if you can trust it.

For founders, a verified EP+ listing is a credible, third-party signal for pitch decks, investor outreach, and talent acquisition. For investors and partners, it's a curated, trustworthy place to discover what's being built in Britain.

Free standard listings are always available. Enhanced and Featured tiers are available for founders who want more visibility.

Our Standards

We are editorially independent. A minimum of 70% of everything we publish is independent journalism — not paid, not sponsored, not commercially influenced. Sponsored content is always clearly labelled. Our editorial team operates separately from our commercial team. Always.

We are human-edited. We use AI tools to assist with research and drafts. Every word published under the EP+ brand is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human editor before it goes live.

We are verification-first. Every startup in our directory passes a 7-point verification check. Every statistic in our editorial content is cited with a source. We correct errors promptly and transparently.
