Elevate
For ambitious early-stage companies where capital, programme support and access to the NoBa ecosystem can accelerate the next stage.
The standard Elevate founder offer is £100k of investment alongside the programme and ecosystem.
Founders
Apply to NoBa
We back ambitious founders building the future of work, through Elevate and through direct investment.
Two routes to NoBa
Direct investment
Not every company needs Elevate.
We also consider direct investments in companies that are further along (including Seed and later-stage opportunities) where there is a strong fit with the NoBa investment thesis.
What we look for
Connection
The platforms and networks that shape how capability connects with opportunity.
Execution
The systems and intelligence that shape how people, software and agents get work done.
Participation
The infrastructure and incentives that shape how people engage with work.
We invest from early stage through Seed and selectively beyond, with a focus on companies being built from the UK with global ambition.
