BritAsia LaunchPad has launched a new match funding program to level the playing field and support South Asian founders with bold ideas to build, launch & scale. Because the numbers don’t lie. South Asians make up over 20% of the population, but receive less than 2% of UK VC funding. Globally, South Asian entrepreneurs remain underrepresented, underfunded, and underestimated.
Over 12 weeks, you’ll get a fully built MVP, brand identity, and investor-ready pitch deck, plus expert-led workshops covering tech, go-to-market strategy, and fundraising. You’ll also be mentored by seasoned South Asian and global founders, gain exposure across BritAsia’s TV, digital, and YouTube platforms, and pitch live to active investors ready to back bold ideas. We’re proud to partner with Hukm, who will power the program end-to-end, building not just start-ups — but stories worth telling. You bring the ambition. We’ll bring the launch pad.
