On Monday, 17 October 2022, Rupert Hoogewerf, Hurun Report chairman and chief researcher, is hosting the Hurun UK Under30s Young Entrepreneurs to Watch Night 2022 in London.

The evening is a celebration of the top start-ups in the UK, centred around the 100 outstanding young entrepreneurs under the age of 30 in the UK. It should be a lively evening, with some 200 young entrepreneurs, unicorn and gazelle founders and venture capitalists.

There are now 1312 unicorns and 621 gazelles in the world, with the UK ranking fourth after the US, China and India. See Hurun Global Unicorns, Hurun Global Gazelles and Hurun Global VCs
