Implementing change for startups and talent at a the government level with Dom Hallas, Executive Director @ Startup Coalition
Dom Hallas, Executive Director at Startup Coalition, breaks down how UK government policy is reshaping the startup landscape at a critical moment. He reveals the stark contradiction between the UK's explosive tech growth—raising more capital in single months than entire years previously—and new Labour policies that are actively making founder exits more expensive through reduced tax benefits.
Key takeaways
- •UK tech funding has reached unprecedented scale, with single months now seeing more capital deployment than entire years in the past
- •The new Labour government is systematically reducing tax benefits for entrepreneurs, making founder exits significantly more expensive
- •UK's startup ecosystem proved remarkably resilient during Brexit chaos because it maintained consistent political support across party lines
- •Effective startup lobbying requires targeting specific policy areas like immigration and funding rather than broad political positions
