Seed Investment UK: How Onfido Achieved Record Returns as a Student-Led Startup
Explore how Oxford’s student-led startup Onfido secured seed investments and achieved the largest ever return on investment in the UK.
The UK startup ecosystem faces challenges in accessing funding efficiently, especially under the government-supported SEIS/EIS schemes that mandate a clear understanding of associated tax incentives. Oriel IPO addresses this gap by simplifying the investment process, allowing entrepreneurs to connect directly with angel investors without the burden of commission fees. Additionally, the platform's educational tools help demystify SEIS/EIS, ensuring that both startups and investors can navigate the landscape confidently. This approach not only democratizes funding access but also empowers users, fostering a stronger investment culture in the UK.
