Board Statement

The Directors are pleased to present the audited financial statements for Startup Giants for the year ended 31st December 2019. The financial statements below do not constitute the Company’s full statutory accounts but are extracted from them. On or around 4th June 2020 the Company anticipates that the 2019 Report and Accounts, along with notice of the Annual General Meeting to be held on 30th June 2020, will be posted to shareholders. A PDF copy of the Annual Report will be downloadable from www.startupgiants.com.

Highlights

During the last financial year the Company explored options to expand the number of start-ups looking for potential investment using key partnerships and has secured several key partnerships that participate with the introduction and validation of potential investment opportunities as well as providing additional support services in areas of marketing and technology.  It also undertook consultancy work for early-stage entrepreneurs, which generated revenue of £45,256 (2018, £58,539) and resulted in a net loss of £85,551 (2018, £50,805), translating into a loss per share of 8.47 pence (2018, loss of 5.03 pence per share). At the end of the year, the Company had net cash balances of £641,989 (2018, £646,453) and shareholders’ funds stood at £634,726 (2018, £720,277).

Current Trading and Post-Balance Sheet Developments

Trading during the current financial year to date has been in line with the Directors’ expectations at the beginning of the period. Since 1st January 2020, Startup Giants has continued to source new investment opportunities with the opening of a new spring accelerator round, with follow-on selection, interviews and short-listing, and to leverage potential key partnerships within both private and governmental sectors.

Startup Giants has also been approved by the Home Office as an Endorsing Body for the Innovator Route and Start-up Route visa categories, with its profile now published on the Government website. This enables the Company to source investment opportunities globally; and directly to support foreign entrepreneurs from non-EU countries to bring their innovations to the U.K., providing support over several years to target growth, including assisting capital raising. Successful applicants need to produce to the Company evidence of innovation, viability and scalability in order to qualify for endorsement. Many sectors and sub-sectors are considered, with a focus on Tech, SaaS, FinTech, AdTech, PropTech, Manufacturing and Supply Chain.

Outlook

Looking ahead, the momentum for technology companies requiring investment at the seed stage should continue, with demand apparent for the Company’s accelerator model, which encompass a delivery crew to support young start-ups with their technology and digital marketing strategies.

The Company has a provisional allocation of 25 endorsements from the Home Office for endorsing foreign innovators over the coming year, which also require support for acceleration and growth over a period of up to three years, and has already issued endorsements to several foreign innovators with viable and scalable business propositions.

Having identified an innovative methodology for acquiring minority interests in highly prospective founders’ businesses, Startup Giants will focus on its next stage of growth by increasing its portfolio of foreign innovators and supporting these investee companies with necessary technology and marketing services.

Startup Giants is one of the pioneers in the UK of start-up acceleration for companies that have a focus on technology and supply chain; the Directors believe it is well positioned to leverage its expertise, contacts, and know-how to build long-term shareholder value.
