Board note
UK-founded labs vs US labs with a London office
UK-founded labs on the board account for 69 of 259 roles. The rest are US or global labs with a UK-eligible seat.
Wayve, Synthesia, ElevenLabs, and Isomorphic Labs are the UK-founded names people already cite. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Scale are the US labs with a London line. Both can be UK-eligible. They are not the same hiring story.
| UK-founded | Open |
|---|---|
| Wayve | 36 |
| Synthesia | 13 |
| ElevenLabs | 11 |
| Isomorphic Labs | 9 |
16 other watchlist companies have at least one UK-eligible role this week.
UK-founded is a watchlist flag (Wayve, Synthesia, ElevenLabs, Isomorphic, and the same set we use in code), not “has a London office”. /hiring mixes both. This note is the split.
