LIMINI wins Brighton Startup Roadshow 2026
LIMINI, the AI marketing operating system for enterprise brands in regulated industries, has been announced as the winner of the Brighton Startup Roadshow 2026. The event brought together founders, investors, and the wider Sussex startup ecosystem for an evening of networking and a startup pitch competition.
Organised by South East Angels, the Startup Roadshow aims to showcase early-stage founders and foster growth in startup communities across the South East and key growth sectors. The 2026 series has included events covering Health, Energy, Fintech, Robotics and SpaceTech, providing entrepreneurs with valuable opportunities to connect with investors, gain exposure, and receive constructive feedback.
The Brighton event featured a competitive pitch session where five promising early-stage startups presented their ventures to a panel of judges including Maven Capital Partners, Brighteye Ventures, South East Angels and Seedcamp. LIMINI stood out among the pitches, impressing the judges with the team’s deep domain expertise, enterprise-grade product, and the scale of the opportunity in front of them.
Backed by South East Angels earlier this year, LIMINI runs the end-to-end marketing workflow for large brands, from audience insight and creative production through to legal sign-off. Brand standards, verified claims evidence, and each market’s regulations are built into the process from the start, so marketing teams can create bolder work with confidence while legal teams focus on the judgement calls that genuinely need them. Published metrics from live deployments show 94% faster legal sign-off and 58% faster speed to market.
Maddy Cooper (LIMINI Founder & CEO) says:
“We’re thrilled to have won the Brighton Startup Roadshow and grateful for the opportunity to share how LIMINI is helping brands in regulated industries make braver marketing that is compliant from the start. The event was a fantastic platform to connect with investors and fellow founders from across the Sussex ecosystem.” Maddy Cooper, Founder, LIMINI.
Jake Fox (South East Angels) says:
“Maddy delivered a compelling pitch that showed both a deep understanding of the tension between marketing and legal teams and a clear plan to become the operating infrastructure for how global brands plan, create and approve their marketing. It’s great to see a Sussex-based company building enterprise software at this level, and Startup Roadshow continues to be the place to meet top-tier founders at the early stages of their businesses.” Jake Fox, Syndicate Lead, South East Angels.
