As a long-term, responsible investor into venture and venture growth funds, we are building the UK patient capital ecosystem while demonstrating that a patient capital investment approach can produce commercially attractive returns.

Through the infusion of both capital and our dedicated time, we leverage our funding, extensive experience, and international networks leading portfolio companies to valuable exits. Over the years, we have successfully invested in and led companies across multiple sectors, fostering an open-minded approach. However, we primarily focus on European companies in revenues stage with differentiating intellectual property (IP), and rapid growth. We tend to avoid capital-intensive businesses. Personal compatibility between us, the founders, and co-investors is of great importance to us. Our investment amounts range from approx. 100k to millions of euros. Both of us are actively involved in the investment process and will work closely with you to achieve success. Therefore, the mutual personal compatibility is crucial.
