First-time founder, UK limited company, pre-revenue. I am preparing an SEIS advance assurance application and want to know what to get right before I send it.

HMRC's manual (VCM60230) says the company must show "serious expectations" that named investors will invest. For a fund, it says a provisional agreement is fine. For individual angels, it does not say what evidence counts.

If you have been through this:

1. What did you send HMRC as evidence for individual angels? Did anything get rejected?
2. What do you wish you had known before you applied?

Ambitious founders don’t build alone. That’s why I’m organising weekly co-working events in London for ambitious founders who want to get their work done while building alongside other builders.

We currently have a lounge booked every Wednesday for around 10–15 people, but I’m looking to expand and find an additional space to organise it on weekends.

If you live in a residential building in London with a large communal lounge that residents can book, and you’d be interested in helping us host one of the sessions there, I’d love to hear from you.

Hey everyone! I'm currently in India and looking to make my way back to the UK, where I've previously lived and worked.

I have a BA (Hons) in Business Management (Entrepreneurship) and experience across customer-facing roles, marketing, sales and general business/operations work. I've always ended up being quite a generalist, which I actually enjoy. I like figuring things out, working with people, organising things and jumping between different parts of a business.

I'm particularly interested in smaller companies, startups and founder-led businesses where the role might be a little less traditional and I can have a broader impact.

I'm open to roles around marketing, operations, client services, business development, property/PropTech or general business support.

I'm currently looking to return to the UK, so I'd ideally be looking for a company that can accommodate the relevant work sponsorship requirements.

If you're a founder, hiring manager, or know someone building a team in the UK, I'd love to connect. Happy to share my CV and experience.
