Our opportunities are often driven by regulatory or technological change. We are amongst the few growth EIS investors able to demonstrate a successful 12 year track record.We typically seek board representation and consider ourselves to be key partners in the enterprise.We differentiate ourselves from a VC or angel investor group, in that we make fewer investments each year. We try to ensure that our companies are fully funded. We are not driven purely by brokerage fees on funds raised. Our model has no management fee and depends upon achieving exits.Specialties: Finding investors for scalable fast growth businesses that do not yet qualify for institutional investment, but have potential to become the global businesses of tomorrow.Due diligence of market opportunities and management teams.Valuation and structuring of deals.Sourcing of investment.Strategic partnerships.Portfolio highlights: 1.
