Are you building a startup through your university?

Spin Out Show 26 is creating a national platform for the most exciting university-linked startups to showcase their innovation, pitch to investors, and connect with real commercial opportunities.

We’re inviting universities to nominate their very best startups to represent them at the show.

What Selected Startups Receive

The top startups from each participating university will receive:

🚀 A Live Investor Pitch Opportunity

Pitch your business directly to active investors in front of a live audience. This is your opportunity to raise your profile, build investor relationships and accelerate your growth.

🛍 A Stand in the Spin Out Marketplace

Exhibit your product or service in the Marketplace area — a high-footfall zone where founders, investors, advisors and corporate partners connect.

You’ll have dedicated space to:

✔ showcase your product;

✔ demonstrate your service;

✔ capture leads; and

✔ build partnerships.

📖 Profile in the Official Event Brochure

Every selected startup will be featured in the printed event guide distributed to attendees — ensuring visibility beyond the day itself.

Who Can Apply?

We’re looking for startups that:

✔ have genuine commercial ambition;

✔ are linked to a UK university (spin-outs, incubator companies, or founder-led ventures);

✔ are ready to pitch and promote their business confidently; and

✔ want to connect with investors and growth partners.

Each participating university will select and nominate its strongest ventures.
