Our Investment Focus

We support ambitious UK-based founders from day one, investing at the pre-seed and seed stages through SEIS and EIS-compliant structures. We also back promising start-ups across the US and Europe.

Our investment thesis spans across multiple sectors, including but not limited to:

  • Fintech & Financial Services
  • Healthcare & Life Sciences
  • Enterprise Technology and AI
  • Cyber Security
  • Consumer & Retail
  • Climate Tech & Sustainability
  • Data and Data Centres
  • Communication

Our Approach

We believe in providing more than just capital. Our collective brings together operators and founders who understand the challenges of building a successful startup.

Founder-First Support

We're operators and builders ourselves. We offer hands-on support and strategic insights to avoid costly mistakes.

Early-Stage Focus

We invest at the earliest stages, providing crucial support when it matters most.

Tax-Efficient Investment

SEIS and EIS-compliant investments offering attractive tax benefits for investors.

Why did we set this up?

We launched this investment syndicate to address a clear gap in the market: thoughtful, founder-first capital at the pre-seed and seed stage. Too many exceptional founders with bold ideas are overlooked. This syndicate exists to change that, backing ambitious founders who are reshaping their sectors with speed and relentless conviction.

What We Offer

Strategic investment and hands-on support for early-stage founders, combining smart capital with operational expertise to help you build and scale your vision.

Smart Capital

Up to £100,000 ticket size. Early funding that fuels your first steps - SEIS and EIS compliant.
