The British Business Bank is negotiating to take a stake in the EU's €5bn Scaleup Fund, contingent on UK startups becoming eligible for investment. The deal's viability now hinges on the incoming UK prime minister's approach to EU relations following Keir Starmer's resignation.

This Wire brief tracks British Business Bank.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

UK late-stage founders face a critical funding window: access to €5bn EU strategic capital depends on post-election political will and EU agreement, creating both near-term uncertainty and significant upside if negotiations succeed.
