Forbes Family Group champions ambitious founders, especially those from underserved communities who are too often excluded from mainstream investment pathways.
The challenge has never been talent or drive. It's access. Access to capital, to the right networks, to rooms where decisions get made.We exist to close that gap.
Because when vision is backed with real resources and genuine belief, potential becomes momentum, and momentum builds businesses that change communities.
In partnership with Corten Capital, Battery Ventures, and HSBC Innovation Banking, the CapTable Competition is our flagship investment initiative, a platform built to give exceptional founders the funding, guidance, and connections they need to grow.
Since launch, we have awarded over £100,000 to ambitious founders across the UK.
Each year, finalists pitch their businesses, gain visibility with investors and business leaders, and compete for direct investment and hands-on strategic support.
This isn't just a competition. It's a launchpad.
Share your pitch deck with us below. We review submissions all year round and invite selected businesses to connect directly with our investment team.Do not wait for the next competition. If you are ready, so are we.
If your organisation shares our belief that access to capital should not be determined by background, we would like to talk.
Whether you are an investor, a financial institution, a corporate or an organisation that supports entrepreneurs - there is a place for you in what we are building.
Direct access to exceptional, vetted founders Every founder who enters the CapTable Competition has been reviewed by our team. Our partners gain direct visibility into a pipeline of ambitious, underrepresented entrepreneurs who are ready to grow.
