Getting ready to pitch in front of investors is one of the most challenging aspects of building a startup, and few founders get a real chance to stress-test their pitch before it counts. That’s why Techscaler built the Raise.
Raise is a tailored and advanced support programme built for ambitious early-stage founders who are looking to raise capital and accelerate their growth. Acceptance to the support track is based on both ambition and traction, as well as how well the business model aligns with the funding strategy.
This summer, we're running an intensive pilot version of Raise from 29th June to 1st July with sessions led by specialists in growth strategy and early-stage investment. The programme involves a live investment bootcamp, where founders pitch to a panel of investors, funders, and experienced startup operators, take their follow-up questions to the room, and walk away knowing exactly where the pitch holds up and where it still needs work.
Alongside the main sessions, founders will get access to:
- Five hours of 1-1 support with Techscaler Entrepreneurs in Residence
- Pitch practice sessions
- 1-on-1 pitch coaching
- Group mentorship sessions tailored to the cohort's needs
- Partner and community office hours and events
Meet this summer’s cohort:
For this summer's cohort, twelve founders made it through; here’s a look at what they’re building.
- Teoma - A highlands-based company specialising in AI and technology consultancy.
- Clovo - A healthtech startup delivering personalised programmes to support patients pre and post-rehab.
- Open Cellar - A new way to explore and understand wine by bringing customers closer to the world’s wine producers.

- SPATTRO - A triaging system matching patients and consultants through customised digital pre-assessment tools. Find out more about their journey here.
- Swellbase - A booking and operational platform designed for outdoor centres.
- Husu - A diagnostic platform designed for accounting firms, providing leadership reports that show where the pressure is concentrated in your team.
- LocaPerk - Behavioural financial platform built to help SMEs, financial institutions and platforms onboard, screen, and monitor.
- Synqronicity Quantum Technologies - A deep tech startup developing independent navigation systems for instances when satellite navigation is unreliable, degraded, or not available.
- Arcology - Building smart tools and technology for teachers, schools, and neurodivergent individuals.
- Live Like - An AI-driven platform delivering tailored fan experiences through content, rewards and interactions.
- InioTech - Building conditions-based monitoring systems that give hotel building operators visibility into water leaks, legionella compliance, and energy waste.
For Techscaler members, Raise is one of several interventions designed to work together for founders, rather than a standalone programme. Earlier this month, Husu and Synqronicity Quantum Technologies joined Techscaler at London Tech Week (2026), coming away with follow-up conversations and live leads that are still in motion. Raise is built to carry that momentum forward.
