About Us
“Only 20-30% of seeded companies make it to Series A"
We are built to help the most relentless entrepreneurs overcome the daunting odds facing them on their Seed to Series A journey. We call this the Foundation Stage.
Focus on foundations
We invest at the beginning and partner until the end of the start-up journey. We support our founders to build solid company foundations and milestone-focused, capital-optimising cultures that last a company’s lifetime. We know that getting the foundations right dramatically increases a start-up’s chance of success and unlocks the path to explosive and sustainable growth.
Deep experience
We’ve invested in +130 startups, supporting hundreds of founders on their startup journey and we are proud to have played a small part in so many success stories.
Our history, combined with our Partners’ experience, means we are uniquely placed to help our founders succeed.
Partner-led
Founders want to deal with VC Partners who are peers, who can wield their senior level experience to add value in every interaction, starting with the first conversation.
We are a Partner-led VC. Founders interact with a Partner from their first conversation to their last. Our Partners are fully empowered, always available and operate with a ‘start-up speed’ mentality.
