About us

The Bakery is on a mission to make the world a more entrepreneurial place, and over the last 12 years our brilliant team has designed and built a unique model and process, which brings together the world’s biggest corporates with the best entrepreneurs, funds and startups - to truly make innovation happen. We have continually iterated and refined our model to achieve something that no one else has: taking over 50 new technologies to market, which we’ve done by partnering corporates with the best early stage startups. Our client list is second to none, having worked with some of the worlds biggest and best loved brands with everyone from Google to BMW, Unilever to RBS. We have also built a global network of the world's best startups, investors and accelerators along the way. Having immersed ourselves in this ecosystem, we now understand this world of entrepreneurs, investors and corporates like no one else. But this is just the beginning and we've only just started. Our plans and vision for the business is to grow, not just in the U.K. but throughout the world, and to develop our programmes to not just partner corporates and startups together, but to also create and build new businesses. This will see us create a truly transformational business - an agency of the future, powered by a global network of startups, investors and entrepreneurs. As a result, so far, we have been responsible for more than 80 deals, 20 ventures from scratch and 8 tech unicorns.
