Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment.

With a disciplined investment strategy and a focus on exits, we pride ourselves on a strong track record, failure rates significantly below the industry average and high-value outcomes.

Our role doesn’t end once funding is secured. We stay involved, offering hands-on support, strategic advice, and access to our extensive network to ensure every business we back is given the opportunity to reach its full potential.
