Beacon Capital is a VC fund in London focused on Software and SaaS. Beacon is a London-based VC specialising on early stage technology founders that help enterprises digitize their operations, innovate and compete at global scale.We back teams with strong entrepreneurial vision and exceptional technical talent. We have been involved in some extraordinary stories over the past 8 years. We believe that investing atthis stage requires an extraordinary ability to read “signal over noise”, take bets on global challenges, spot talent & deliver effective post-investment support. What makes us different is our focus on enterprise tech at the early stages of product/market fit and our ability to help our founders validate commercial scale. Typically, we provide 30-50% of the capital in rounds between £1m - £3m and prefer to commit early and lead the round.If you think we can be a good fit for each other, please reach out directly to one of us or at hello@beaconcapital.co.uk.
