The 10-month programme provides growth-stage businesses with the opportunity to secure access to world-class legal advice, regular mentorship meetings and admission to AG’s global roster of seminars and networking events, many of which are attended by leading business executives, financiers and industry experts.

Last year’s cohort included three Scottish businesses: Innovative Chemical manufacturing business CataNiTek; vehicle rental and hire system Coastr; and Frontier Robotics – which provides autonomous software to revolutionise underwater exploration.

In recent years, AG has significantly enhanced its digital assets, payments and fintech team, attracting industry heavyweights such as Grace Wyatt, an experienced financial services regulatory lawyer from Hogan Lovells.

David Anderson, partner at Addleshaw Goddard, said: “Navigating the complex legal landscape can be a daunting task for start-ups and scale-ups alike. Through AG Elevate, we aim to demystify these challenges, leveraging our deep tech sector knowledge to support businesses in their growth journey. We’re in search of unique, driven tech companies with visionary leadership and a clear growth trajectory.”

To qualify for AG Elevate, companies must be based within the technology sector, have plans to achieve high-growth status and have been the recipient of either seed or later funding.
