Profile

Going from raising your first institutional investment round to building a scalable business is hard and risky. We’ve done it ourselves as founders, and we’ve become good at helping other companies make it.

We are a seed stage Venture Capital fund, investing £500k – £2m in early stage software companies in the UK. Our eight strong team is a combination of former entrepreneurs and experienced investors. We have deep connections with Silicon Valley, where several of us have built businesses.

We are passionate about the technologies, the ideas and the business models that are reshaping the world. But most of all, we love the dreamers, the technologists and the creators that are making this happen. We want to share our knowledge with you, and we always roll our sleeves up to support our founders.

This means helping our founders across all areas of early stage company building, from hiring to refining the Go To Market strategy to making crucial introductions. But don’t take it from us, speak to the founders in our portfolio!
