In July 2026 BusinessCloud published its inaugural Founder 250 list.
The UK-wide list celebrates 250 of the country’s best founder-led and founder-influenced businesses.
Spanning sectors including AI, fashion, health and beauty, IT, digital, education and manufacturing, the Founder 250 shines a spotlight on the businesses driving innovation and making a real impact.
On 17th September, during Cambridge Tech Week – for which BusinessCloud is a proud media partner – executive editor Chris Maguire will host a roundtable of businesses featuring on the list and those hoping to make the 2027 cut.
RSM UK is the headline sponsor of the Founder 250, alongside law firm CG, property specialist OBI and investor Mercia Ventures.
