GoLLM Recognised as One of the UK’s Most Promising Early-Stage Startups in Tech Nation’s Rising Stars 2025

In early May, we proudly shared that GoLLM was selected as a regional finalist in Rising Stars 2025 — the UK’s largest pitch competition for early-stage B2B startups. Today, we’re thrilled to close the loop: GoLLM has officially been named one of the UK’s most promising early-stage tech companies in Tech Nation’s newly published Rising Stars of 2025 report.

This nationwide report profiles 60 standout startups who are pushing the boundaries of technology, innovation, and impact across every region of the UK. Being included among this year’s Rising Stars is an incredible recognition of the work we’re doing to make qualitative research analysis more intelligent, accessible, and actionable.

“At its heart, Rising Stars is about recognising innovation in every part of the UK and connecting founders to the resources, networks and opportunities that can help them grow.” – Chantelle Young, Head of Early Stage Programmes, Tech Nation

While we didn’t take home the top investment prize at the Scotland & Northern Ireland regional final, we were honoured to share the stage with such a talented group of founders — and even prouder to now be featured in the national Rising Stars 2025 report.

Our inclusion reflects both the strength of Scotland’s tech ecosystem and the growing demand for tools like D.A.V.E. (our Dynamic Analytics and Visualisation Engine), which enables organisations to turn unstructured feedback into meaningful, data-backed reports in minutes.

The Rising Stars journey culminates at London Tech Week on 9th June, where selected finalists from across the UK will pitch for a chance to secure up to £1 million in investment as part of the One to Win grand final. Although GoLLM competed in the Emerging Stars track, this national recognition affirms our place in the conversation about the future of UK tech and entrepreneurship.

We’re incredibly grateful to Tech Nation, Founders Forum Group, OnetoWin, Haatch, and all the partners supporting this initiative. And most of all, we’re proud to represent the vibrant innovation emerging from Scotland — and to continue building tools that empower researchers, leaders, and decision-makers alike.
