Founders

Building an exceptional business and looking for long-term, value-add capital?

At Nickleby Capital, we back ambitious founders with more than just capital. Our investor base includes some of the UK and Europe’s leading entrepreneurs, operators and investors, and we work closely with management teams to help businesses scale.

We typically invest £5–£15m, lead funding rounds, take board seats and support companies through their next phase of growth.

What we look for

While every opportunity is different, our typical investment profile includes:

• Series A and Series B companies, where we believe the best risk-adjusted returns can be achieved.
• Businesses generating c.£5m–£50m of revenue with strong underlying fundamentals.
• Companies with clear product-market fit and a repeatable commercial model.
• Businesses approaching a meaningful inflection point in growth.
• Primarily technology and tech-enabled businesses, alongside scalable rollout models across healthcare and consumer.
• UK-focused, with selective investments across Europe.

Our Scout Network

We are always looking to meet exceptional founders. To support this endeavour, we have built a scout program designed to reward people who can introduce us to the next generation of category leaders.

If you are a founder looking for the right investment partner or a potential scout who can help us find our next investment, please email us on deals@nicklebycapital.com
