We help early stage founders become successful

The odds are stacked against early stage founders. Especially if they haven't made it onto an accelerator programme. We help founders get a second chance at success, by providing playbooks, courses and tools to help them improve their businesses and their decks. Our content is highly original and packed with the insider tradecraft we developed helping start-ups that raised over $990m.

Peet Denny, Founding Partner - Climate VC

'Working with Marcus and Nick has been a magical experience. They've helped me crack my own pitch deck and messaging. They've done the same for startups we invested in. They can do it for you as well.' 

Andy Ayim, MBE and founder of Angel Investing School

As an angel investor you have the ability to influence and make a real difference with the value you can add. Marcus does this through his startup investments and Nick has added so much value along my journey including through the Thunderdome where I perfected my pitch deck and purpose statement. Big thank you to the U2R team!'

Scott Wylie, serial founder and CEO of Seven

'The team at U2R are the real deal. They have been there and done it. For me that is the type of person I trust to give advice/ guidance, not self appointed experts.'
