Welcome to the 2026 Startups 100 Index, powered by Sage<\/a>. After months of waiting, the UK\u2019s longest-running new business can finally lift the curtain on our official ranking of the top \u2018one-to-watch\u2019 businesses over the next 12 months. And what a list that is.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve featured many future giants long before they became household names, including Deliveroo and Monzo. Now in our eighteenth edition, and during one of the toughest business landscapes the UK has yet to face, the Startups team has been awed by the many inspiring entrepreneurs who are rewriting how we work, buy, live, and connect this year.<\/p>\n

Founded by Ben Freeman and Ben Allen, it is tackling the problems and pains of the modern procurement market head on, it has so far saved customers from over 100,000 hours in decision delays and spiralling costs.<\/p>\n

Our silver and bronze startups are no strangers to the Index, having both appeared in our 2025 edition. Runner-up HIVED<\/a>, the UK\u2019s breakout delivery startup, is proving that parcel shipping can be faster, greener, and more reliable at scale.<\/p>\n

In third, MAGIC AI<\/a>\u2019s smart mirror blends cutting-edge AI, mass-market retail presence, and award-winning innovation to emerge as a category-leading fitness platform.<\/p>\n

Following behind are 97 more inventive and inspiring businesses across 17 sectors. Having raised a combined total of over \u00a31 billion, they include a fintech with a brand new payment method, a viral TikTok sensation, and a startup that\u2019s making t-shirts out of potatoes.<\/p>\n
