An open letter to the Prime Minister Keir Starmer

According to the Office for National Statistics, 57.5% of startups fail in the first 5 years. However, the National Business Incubation Association (NBIA) states that 87% of startups survive their first 5 years if they have the support they need.

I have created a support program for early stage UK startup founders, especially micro-businesses. Providing the support founders need to sidestep failure and generate wealth.

As micro-businesses employ around 20% of the UK’s workforce, and make up 96% of all small businesses. They are the backbone (and beating heart) of the UK economy.

You were elected on a promise of change and growth.

Let’s do it. Together.

I know you are a very busy man, but I ask you to put one hour aside and meet with me in person to discuss government backing for this program. Public support, funding, whatever it takes.

Thanks,
