Despite Trump’s latest tariff frenzy recently sending shockwaves across the stock markets, is this the start of a ‘Northern brain drain’ overseas or simply a case of savvy entrepreneurs chasing the capital, talent and infrastructure needed to fuel their ambitious visions? As part of Prolific North’s GRAFT tech series to spotlight the triumphs, tensions and untapped opportunities across the North’s tech ecosystem, we’ve taken a deeper look at why some founders are considering moving to the US. Anita Frost, founder of children’s entertainment platform Green Bean Studios, couldn’t agree more. “We recently were approached by a launchpad in Denver and they offered us such a great opportunity. I would love to remain a Northern business that’s founded and invested in here but ultimately, the US is making it more attractive.” While she believes there is plenty of support for start-ups across the North thanks to R&D grants and the government’s EIS or SEIS schemes, there is “no playing field” for companies that want to grow.

There’s a lack of investors’ appetite here. Why? Because investing is not attractive, and it’s only attractive in some sectors.” “I don’t think the landscape, investment wise, is friendly to young founders” She’s not alone in that view. Harry Panter, the co-founder behind fast-growing student living platform Housr, says the US is where the future of the market is for his business. READ IN FULL |
