Start Q2 by joining us for a private investor breakfast in central London. The venue will be shared after registration.
Taking place in Q2 2026 from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM, this invite-only breakfast brings together active angels, VC partners, and family offices in a relaxed, high-quality setting to reconnect, exchange views, and build relationships.
The morning will centre on a focused discussion titled “Why the UK Still Wins”, challenging investors to take a fresh look at the UK as a venture market. Is the UK still producing founders capable of building global category leaders, or has it become a training ground for talent that ultimately leaves? Are UK valuations justified by the quality of opportunities on offer? And do international LPs still see the UK as a place to deploy serious capital over the long term?
The session will explore the depth of the UK talent pool, the quality of deal flow, the country’s competitiveness on the global stage, and how global investors are positioning themselves in the UK today.
Alongside this, guests will take part in informal discussion around market sentiment, deployment priorities, and where investors are finding the strongest opportunities across the UK ecosystem.
Alongside strong conversations, guests will enjoy a high-quality breakfast in good company, often the highlight of the morning.
This is an ideal opportunity to pressure-test views on the UK, compare notes with peers, and stay closely connected to the LVCN investor community.
