Tech Startup UHubs Wins £1 Million Investment Prize at London Tech Week
On the first day of London Tech Week 2025, tech startup UHubs emerged victorious in Tech Nation’s Rising Stars OneToWin competition, securing a £1 million investment prize. The competition, open to EIS-qualifying startups across the UK, saw eight shortlisted contenders narrowed down to three finalists who pitched live onstage to a panel of seasoned early-stage investors.
The judges selected UHubs based on its strong commercial traction, with the startup generating £1.7 million in annual revenue, exceeding the competition’s £200,000 annual recurring revenue (ARR) requirement. Founded in 2020, UHubs uses AI and data-driven insights to help companies upskill their sales representatives with tailored tools and real-time solutions.
How UHubs Works
UHubs’s technology enables sales team leaders to upskill existing sales reps and quickly bring new hires up to speed. By applying AI to real-time data, the platform identifies top performance indicators within teams, reveals blind spots, and devises customized training programs. This approach helps companies move away from one-size-fits-all sales training and expensive consulting services.
The £1 million investment prize will be funded by the Haatch EIS Fund and Rigby Group, subject to due diligence. Wealth Club members will also have the opportunity to participate in the investment round.
The AI Investment Opportunity
London Tech Week 2025 strongly focused on AI, with discussions between NVIDIA founder/CEO Jensen Huang and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer highlighting the UK’s potential as a hub for AI investment. Haatch founder Scott Weavers-Wright OBE noted that AI was a dominant theme at the event, with entrepreneurs already building and selling AI-based solutions. The UK’s ecosystem, combining top universities and significant AI venture capital investment, positions it as an attractive location for AI investment.
As Scott Weavers-Wright OBE observed, “AI wasn’t just a topic at London Tech Week – it was the foundation of almost every conversation, keynote, and pitch.” The investment opportunity in AI is considered significant, drawing parallels with the rise of cloud computing.
