Do you have the next big idea?

The second phase of funding is now available from the Design fund, so find out how you can benefit from the current investment funds available for UK product designers and manufactures.

ACID partner The British Design Fund (BDF) supports enterprise and innovation in the UK by investing in, and supporting, early stage, well designed, product businesses.  In a new strategic partnership, ACID has joined with the BDF to raise awareness of the funding and mentoring initiatives available. This chimes with our own ethos of the importance of properly protecting new ideas and developing an effective and proactive IP strategy.

The latest initiatives from the BDF focus on investment in UK based early-stage companies that seek to lead the market in provision of innovative product design and manufacturing. For instance, one offering seeks to invest at least £100,000 in each Investee Company in return for circa 15% to 30% equity, across at least five companies.

Dids Macdonald, OBE., CEO of Anti Copying in Design said, “It is an exciting time for British design entrepreneurs with design growth increasing year on year. Successful applicants can benefit from a diversity of specialist advisors who are part of the British Design Fund mentoring team and I am proud that ACID is one of the resources to offer practical and proactive advice on IP as a positive force for growth.”

The Fund works with extraordinary entrepreneurs with scalable products who are ready to accelerate growth and build long term value and thriving stand-out businesses.
