Who we’re backing

Advancing tech touches every aspect of our lives: agriculture, education, health, commerce, communication. We seek out the founders who are solving deep technical problems across every industry in ways that will transform our world. They’ve pioneered new business models to create opportunities and invent entirely new markets.
We’ve supported start-ups such as augmented reality eyewear manufacturer WaveOptics, machine learning software company Magic Pony Technology, orbital launch services leader Orbex and silicon chip analytics provider UltraSoc.

Why us?

We bring our own deep scientific expertise, experience of growing complex businesses, and rich networks of universities, angel investors and experts to help make your big idea a reality.
The successes of the teams we’ve invested in speak for themselves. They’re powering Snap’s AR glasses, revolutionising the food supply chains and delivering payloads into orbit. It’s results like these that drive our passion to invest time, heart and hope into your vision, from quantum computing to robotics, and sensory augmentation to 3D printing.

The investment process

These are the general steps we follow – note that the process is slightly different at the pre-seed stage of investment.

Step 1

Send us your deck – if we think we’re a fit for your business, we’ll set up a call

Step 2

Meet some of our investors at a discovery meeting

Step 3

We’ll visit you at your office and spend some time with your team

Step 4

Present to our wider team at a partnership meeting

Step 5

We’ll tell you our final decision – if we’re not investing, we’ll say why
