Level39 [2021]

Infrastructure

Growing businesses in sectors ranging from fintech, AI, data, blockchain and cybersecurity to smart cities, and retail technology can benefit from Level39’s 80,000 square foot innovation space in Canary Wharf’s One Canada Square. 

Currently the hub is home to 178 pipeline and scaling businesses who are encouraged to work with one another, buy from one another, and collaborate. As a subsidiary of the Canary Wharf Group, it offers flexible space to ambitious companies many of whom such as Revolut, Digital Shadows, Pirean and Motive Partners, who have since taken leased space in the East London business district. As an official endorsing body via the Home Office, Level39 has endorsed 29 overseas entrepreneurs for startup and innovator visas since 2019, including 14 endorsed applicants who have joined the Level39 community since arriving in the UK.

As well as providing access to flexible infrastructure, Level39 works with organisations such as InChorus, London & Partners, Innovate Finance, Bulb, Tech Nation and a pool of mentors, investors and partners to provide support to members in areas such as funding, access to customers, ED&I, international markets and talent. Level39 member companies have raised over $942M in fundraisings.

During the pandemic Level39 supplemented its support in a variety of ways including keeping them engaged through the online content platform, Digital39 (community stories, insights, podcasts) as well as connecting them with industry experts and investors through 100+ online mentoring sessions. Late in 2020 Level39 launched a digital series of events focussed on topics including: fintech, DE&I, blockchain and cryptocurrency, ethical investing, and scaling up startups.
