Sectors
As experienced investors and advisors, we focus on opportunities and partners where our sector expertise combined with investment expertise creates material value.
Our team have been involved in technology, media and telecoms (TMT) for over 25 years, including current cutting edge research and development in AI, Robotics and LifeSciences.
Ethereal as this may sound, the explosion of capability in the technology space means every company and every sector is either embracing this technological shift - or will need to.
The sectors we therefore work with are those who either supply, consult or use technology. So, all sectors.
As venture builders, our role is to work with you to optimise your startup / growth company, finance it, and to employ the optimum future proof technology base to do so.
Today, without a coherent technology strategy, no investor will consider a company as a target of interest. The step change in performance and outcomes technology provides make it essential that your pitch and your proposal as well as your actual implementation plans reflect this.
Many of our clients start off talking to us about how to present and optimise their company in readiness for a capital event, and as part of that we work to ensure that the foundational needs of the business and the technology solutions they employ aren't just fully in place but are fully communicated.
That said - we do have areas of sector specialisation beyond this, notably:
- Retail
- Manufacturing
- Education
- Technology Services & Solutions
- Telecoms
- LifeSciences
- Infrastructure
The sharp-eyed reader may note that we don't include AI in this list and that is for a really good reason. Historically AI was considered an industry, but in our 'capability maturity model' AI is or needs to be everywhere. It is like databases used to be, or cloud storage - ubiquitous in successful companies.
So while we don't invest in AI solutions per se, we are strong backers and investors in Technology Services and Solutions providers who enable end clients to realise all the benefits the whole portfolio of technology provides.
