For Investors

We back late seed and Series A applied intelligence companies that lift productivity in the real world. The strategy is concentrated and hands on, with clear routes from first deployments to scale.

For founders and professional investors only. This site is for information and does not constitute investment advice. Investing involves risk and capital is at risk.

Strategy at a glance

We invest in applied intelligence across autonomy and perception, human in the loop systems, intelligent platforms, and edge AI components. We lead or co lead at late seed and Series A, with reserves for selective follow on into Series B.

The focus is UK and Europe first with discretion for a limited number of non UK opportunities where there is a strong fit. Portfolio work centres on customer access, round design, hiring, and unit economics that support repeatable deployments.

Construction and limits

We build a concentrated portfolio and avoid over exposure. At the time of investment the fund will not invest more than ten percent of net asset value into a single company, will not own more than thirty percent of a company, and will not invest more than thirty percent of net asset value into companies headquartered outside the UK. No leverage is used. Derivatives may only be used to manage currency exposure.

Net asset values are prepared twice a year with audited annual financial statements. Investors receive regular updates on portfolio progress and material risks.

Liquidity and distributions

This is a closed ended fund intended for investors who do not need liquidity. Distributions are expected to be made as cash is realised from portfolio companies, typically by redeeming shares at the latest net asset value. A matched bargain facility may be considered but is not assured.
