Who We Are at ECI Venture
We’re not an Endorsing Body. ECI Venture is the innovation and entrepreneurship arm of Edge Concept International, dedicated to supporting aspiring founders, graduates, skilled professionals, and international students as they transition confidently into the UK Innovator Founder Visa pathway.
We provide end-to-end support, from business idea development and innovation coaching to the preparation of Home Office–compliant business plans, pitch documents, and endorsement-ready submissions. Our structured process ensures that every applicant meets the Innovation, Viability, and Scalability (IVS) criteria assessed by endorsement bodies.
Whether you already have a business concept or need support developing one from scratch, ECI Venture guides you through every stage of the journey—refining your idea, strengthening your founder profile, preparing you for endorsement interviews, and equipping you with the strategic documentation required to secure endorsement successfully.
ECI Venture exists to make the Innovator Founder process accessible, structured, and achievable for ambitious individuals looking to build and scale their businesses in the UK.
This division expands ECI’s established international education portfolio, providing a clear and direct pathway from education → entrepreneurship → UK residency.
