Our mission is to help people live healthier, happier, and longer lives while supporting a healthy planetary ecosystem.
Through our debut fund, EV Fund 1, which targets £20M in size, we are building a portfolio of 40 early-stage startups over three years, primarily in the UK/EU and opportunistically across the rest of the world, across the sectors of HealthTech, FoodTech and Financial Health.
Our founders, Matt Cooper and Paolo Pio, bring a wealth of experience in investing and supporting entrepreneurs across our three focus sectors, with a combined portfolio of over 200 invested startups. Matt co-founded Capital One Bank in the US, Tandem Bank in the UK, and chaired Octopus Group for over 20 years, while Paolo is a Silicon Valley Software Engineer turned Tech Executive turned Venture Capitalist as MD Europe at Joyance Partners (US HealthTech VC fund).
