Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak announced the Future Fund on 20 April to address the lack of support for startups during the crisis. It will see successful applicants provided with a loan ranging from £125,000 to £5m, but the amount must be matched by private investors.
Businesses must be incorporated, based in the UK and have raised at least £250,000 in equity investment from third-party investors in the last five years, among other stipulations.

Cybersecurity firm Synopsys posts its second-quarter earnings today when US markets close.
