Jenson Funding Partners

Profile

Jenson Funding Partners LLP was established in 2012 to raise capital and provide strategic investment advice under the then new Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) tax efficient wrapper. The first SEIS fund launched in the same year, closing oversubscribed with over £5 million invested in 35 SEIS qualifying companies. Since then, we have raised over £18 million, which has been deployed in 115 companies.

Jenson Funding Partners is a conviction investment Company. To continue to fund the companies, we launched our EIS Fund in 2015. We believe that there is a recognisable funding gap between SEIS and mature EIS companies; a gap that the established EIS investment companies ignore. The opportunity afforded to Jenson is the ability to fund these companies at a fair value, rather than paying a premium due to the demand created at the mature end of the investable market.

Jenson Funding Partners access the potential investee companies from a number of sources and reviews over 1,000 pitches a year. Having made an investment they then wrap a support structure around that business to give it the greatest chance of achieving its growth potential.
