Buckingham Palace was involved in discussions about the future funding of Prince Andrew's tech project, Pitch@Palace Global, after documents revealed his intention to resurrect the initiative as a 'possible source of funding'. While King Charles no longer provides financial support to his brother, the palace met with Startupbootcamp, a Dutch company that funds startup businesses, last summer to explore potential links with the Pitch@Palace Global network. The palace aimed to ensure that any future connections would not negatively impact the wider royal family.
Buckingham Palace was involved in a meeting about the future of Prince Andrew's tech project Pitch@Palace Global, as part of discussions about his future funding, Sky News has learned. In recent weeks, documents released as part of court proceedings involving an alleged Chinese spy, Yang Tengbo, have thrown light on the extent to which the Duke of York and his advisors have been keen to resurrect his Dragons' Den-style project as a 'possible source of funding'.
Described as 'Dragons' Den-style' events for tech startups, Pitch@Palace was set up in 2014 and seen as Prince Andrew's charitable project, helping connect entrepreneurs with potential investors. But a Pitch@Palace Global private company was also set up in 2017. In 2019, Prince Andrew was forced to step away from public life following an interview about his links to Jeffrey Epstein.
