Our People

Richard Bolton

Investor
B2B Software
Richard focuses on software investments, especially B2B SaaS companies and those with SMB customers.

Before joining Octopus Ventures in 2018, he worked at private markets investment firm Northleaf Capital Partners, investing in and alongside some of Europe’s leading private equity firms. He previously spent three years at KPMG.

Outside of work, he’s a keen gym-goer, cyclist and aspiring golfer, although his handicap would suggest otherwise. You’re often likely to find him walking his cavapoo in the Greenwich area.

“I focus on investments into B2B software companies of £1m ARR+, supporting founders and CEOs through their next stage of growth. It’s a fascinating market to be investing in. I have a particularly strong interest in SMB-focused businesses and ones that are pursuing product-led growth.”
