A short list, properly prepared.
A small set of companies we have prepared and chosen to back. Long-term relationships, not volume deal flow.
01
Prepared founders
Every company has been through the work before it reaches you.
02
Aligned mandate
We share companies only with investors whose stage, sector and mandate fit.
03
EIS where eligible
Most UK companies qualify for EIS relief, real downside protection through the tax code.
04
Clear materials
Decks, models and operating logic in usable shape. No archaeology required.
05
Sensible cadence
Deal flow at a calm pace. No spam, no pressure.
06
Long-term partnership
We work for the next decade, not the next cheque.
From inbound interest to investor-ready.
A qualitative view of how raw founder approaches become a short list worth your time. Selectivity is the product.
- 01
Inbound founder interest
Founders who reach out or are referred in.
- 02
First conversation
Stage, sector, intent and timing assessed.
- 03
Preparation scope
We commit only where the work will move the round.
- 04
Investor-ready
Story, deck, model, data room and process tested.
- 05
Shared with investors
Briefed introductions to mandate-aligned capital.
The work happens upstream.
We do the preparation before the round opens, so the conversations with investors are about thesis and chemistry, not whether the basics are in order.
