About this event
Tech Nation's flagship NextWave Final lands in Manchester — 20 shortlisted UK pre-seed and seed founders pitching live for a share of £2M, with six winners chosen on the day and a £335k SEIS opportunity from Haatch. The room is investors, ecosystem partners and the most-tipped early-stage founders nationally. Comfortably one of the most consequential founder-investor days in the UK calendar this month, and it's happening here.
