Welcome to the first edition of Bristol Startups 2.0.

These founder-led startups are not backed by venture capital. Bootstrapped, grant-funded, pre-seed or angel-backed, the enterprises are in the early stages of their journey and either building or harnessing a unique technology.

We invited nominations from our readers, key figures in Bristol’s tech scene and an array of incubators, accelerators and co-working spaces. Many are already making waves in the market.

From medical devices for clearing airways and rehabilitation; vaccine transportation solutions and BioTechs; no-code tools and remote communication platforms; and photonic products and EnviroTechs, the city is rich with startup talent.
