Welcome to the first edition of Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh’s tech scene and an array of incubators and accelerators.
From smart waste bins to GreenTechs, BioTechs, semiconductor technology and a ‘Digital North Star’, the city is rich with startup talent.

We are running annual Startups 2.0 lists in all major UK cities. To discuss sponsorship, contact the editor Jonathan Symcox at this email address. Options include pitching competitions and roundtables featuring the successful startups.
