- Eligibility depends on the company and on your personal circumstances. Tax rules can change.
- This is not tax advice. Speak to a qualified adviser before investing.
- Early-stage investing is high risk. You could lose all the money you invest.
What stage are the companies?
Mostly pre-seed, with occasional seed-stage companies.
How are startups selected?
Every application is reviewed against our four criteria, and shortlisted teams are interviewed before we invest.
Is there a minimum investment?
Minimums and terms depend on each deal. Register your interest and we’ll share the details with every opportunity.
Are the deals SEIS/EIS eligible?
Some may be. We’re working with SEIS/EIS-compliant opportunities, and each deal will say whether it qualifies. Always check with a tax adviser.
