Community
At the heart of Critical Mass is community, because innovation doesn't happen in isolation. We believe that when the right people are in the same room, the impossible becomes possible. Our mission is to accelerate innovation by connecting those building frontier technology with those who can help deploy it from defence and intelligence to venture and government. This is a community for builders, backers, and believers in the UK’s strategic future. If you're working on hard problems with real-world impact, you should be in the room.
What We're Building
Critical Mass is starting with curated events: dinners, hackathons, and private gatherings, because real innovation begins with real relationships. But we’re not stopping there. We're building a platform to support deeptech and dual-use founders on their journey from prototype to deployment. That means unlocking better access to capital, talent, and mission critical partners. In time, we see Critical Mass evolving into: - A space for founders to build with purpose and support. - A trusted bridge between government, investors, and innovators - A catalyst for faster go-to-market in areas that matter most We’re here to close the gap between cutting-edge technology and national impact. One connection at a time.
Why Now
The next decade belongs to founders building at the edge of what’s possible: in AI, autonomy, cyber, space, and beyond. But too often, UK deeptech and dual-use innovators face friction, not fuel. Critical Mass exists to change that. Founders need faster access to capital, customers, and mission partners. They need communities that understand the pace and pressure of building for both commercial and national impact. And they need them now, not in five years. We’re here to back the builders moving fast on hard problems that matter. The moment is urgent. The window is short. Let’s get to work.
