GRAFT brings Northern tech founders, investors and leaders together to scale businesses, unlock funding and drive growth.
Agenda:The GRAFT ethos & Welcome to GRAFT 2026!
Get ready because GRAFT 2026 is kicking off strong. This first session isn’t just a warm-up; it’s a reality check and a reset. We’ll be looking at where the Northern tech sector stands today, how it compares to global leaders, and what the next stage of growth could look like.
Expect honest insights, clear data and a focused look at what needs to happen next. It’s a chance to bring the industry together and push things forward because the North isn’t just gaining momentum, it’s ready to lead.
Alexandra Balazs, Managing Director, Prolific North
Matt Robinson, Head of Nations and Regions at techUK

Panel: Why Scale Here? IPOs, international moves, and Northern dominance
Scale-up founders. 30 minutes. Zero fluff. We’re talking IPOs with IntelliAM, cross-border expansion with Buymedia, and high-velocity growth with UrbanChain. If you want to know how the North’s top 1% build, pivot, and exit, this is the only seat you need to be in.
Thomas Clayton, Co-Founder & CEO of IntelliAM
Fergal O’Connor, Founder of Buymedia

Lightning Talk – The Founder Perspective
Building a startup is rarely a straight line. Newcastle-based Polybox began with a vision for smarter analytics, but the real story lies in the pivots required to find true product-market fit. In this 10-minute lightning session, Rojin shares the unfiltered reality of taking on investment, the lessons learned from shifting direction under pressure, and what it actually takes to scale a data-driven startup in the North.
Rojin Yarahmadi, Co-Founder of Newcastle-based Polybox
12:10
Lightning Talk -The Investor Perspective
What does “deployable capital” actually look like in 2026? A rapid-fire view from the other side of the table on valuations, term sheets, and what makes a Northern founder a “yes.”

George Mensah, Principal at Sure Valley Ventures

Table 1: Access to capital
Table 2: Scaling leadership
Table 3: The rollercoaster of achieving product-market fit
Table 4: The Exit roadmap: Preparing for ‘End Game’
