?Before you pitch
What stage do you invest at?

Pre-seed and seed. We're often the first institutional investor, at the design-partner stage: team in place, product in use, design partners or a pilot, and little or no revenue.

How much do you invest?

A first cheque of £/€500k–1m, leading, co-leading or joining the round, with follow-on support through Series A.

Do you co-invest?

Yes. We're happy to lead, and we regularly invest alongside other specialist funds and angels. More than 150 co-investors have invested alongside us.

Where do you invest?

We lead, co-lead or join first rounds in companies based in the UK and Ireland that are building for global markets.

How fast do you move?

We reply to every founder within three working days: a no with a reason, a request for more, or a call with key members of the team. If you fit our model, you'll get a quick decision and a fast turnaround. Legals then depend on the round and its other investors.
