Most of our investors struggle with one (or all) of the following three problems: deal flow, expertise and bandwidth.
1. Deal Flow
How many truly great investment opportunities do you see – ones where every data point excites you, presented well with proven management, strong existing investors, and backed up by thorough due diligence.
Every fund will state the hundreds of deals that they see and the filtration process that they go through – it’s not rocket science. We also see the same, thanks to over 20 years of experience with growth tech companies and deep relationships across HNWIs, family offices, venture capital funds and more. Most importantly, our investor network often gives us access to exceptional companies before they hit the market – introduced by seasoned investors who’ve tracked them for years and consider them their portfolio’s standout performer.
2. Expertise
With decades of experience in early-stage tech, we know how to identify the top investment opportunities. We apply investment banking skills and entrepreneurial experience to vet, benchmark and validate companies, with subject matter experts helping us ‘look for the no’. For every investment we complete, there are hundreds we pass on, ensuring only the most promising make the cut.
3. Bandwidth
Sourcing, reviewing and supporting investments takes time most investors don’t have. The reviewing and filtering part is the most time consuming, from reviewing decks, truly understanding financials, legals, meeting with the suppliers, clients, competitors and building relationships. From meeting founders, to analysing the ins and outs of the business all the way to post-investment support, we do the heavy lifting, freeing you to focus on what matters the most.
In summary:
Working with a quality investment manager like us is the preferred route for most investors. This curated investor peer group benefits from not only expert resources, but also greater influence and protections that is not achievable when investing independently. By partnering with us, investors save time, reduce risk and gain access to an exclusive community of some of the UK’s most successful business leaders.
