Angel Investing

We undertake seed and growth investing when we find interesting startups or founders with interesting ideas where we see growth potential. Our preference is to invest where the startup has registered for EIS or SEIS accreditation from HM Customs and Excise but this is not necessarily always the case. We do not restrict our scope to the U.K. but will consider propositions from further afield.

Typically we like to invest in pre-seed, seed and very occasionally Series A rounds.

Our investment philosophy
We tend to invest in early stage companies where we can add value, not just provide funds and act as a passive investor.

We are seeking opportunities that offer growth with the potential to build a unique scalable business that has longevity. We are not looking to invest for the short term.

As such our approach is described in the section entitled "
What we as investors look for".

We do not have any hard and fast rules but as guidance we tend to seek opportunities which:

  • Appreciate investors who add value to the startup and provide support to the founders and company,
  • Have sound, entrepreneurial founders and early team members,
  • Are technology solutions that are leading edge not necessarily bleeding edge,
  • Solve customer problems that we have knowledge and understanding of, and
  • Are solutions where we can bring:
    • our expertise and experience,
    • our contacts and network to bear to open doors,
    • help to drive user adoption and sales, and quickly get the solution adopted in the marketplace.

We are agnostic about who we invest in
We recognise that the world in which we live is a diverse one. We also recognise that some groups within the population are historically under-represented. Founders of colour, LGBTQ, male, female and all others are welcome to contact us, whether you are a person with an idea and no previous experience or a serial entrepreneur.

Established schemes
We will consider all types of investments, not just those companies that qualify for EIS and SEIS and have applied for or received advanced assurance from His Majesty's Revenue & Customs.
