Build a portfolio of hand-picked, high-growth UK opportunities across technology, financial services, and regulated markets. We invest our own capital first.
Three live deals open to qualified investors
The UK government offers some of the most generous tax incentives in the world to investors who back early-stage companies. These schemes exist because private capital drives innovation, creates jobs, and grows the economy. And the investors who understand them enjoy returns that are simply unavailable through traditional portfolios.
Consider this: a £100,000 SEIS investment has a net cost of just £50,000 after income tax relief. If that company grows tenfold, your £50,000 net outlay becomes £1,000,000. Tax-free. No capital gains. No questions.
That same £100,000 in a stocks and shares ISA would need a 1,900% return to deliver the same after-tax outcome.
“The best investment you can make is one where the government pays half and the taxman takes nothing.”
We identify companies at their earliest stage — when valuations are lowest and potential is greatest — and support them through growth rounds to exit.
Our portfolio spans businesses generating recurring revenue from day one alongside high-growth platforms targeting billion-pound valuations.
We structure investments with clear exit horizons. SEIS and EIS shares become CGT-free after three years.
SEIS and EIS offer loss relief — if a company fails, offset losses against income tax. Actual capital at risk can be as low as £6,250 on £25,000.
We are not a fund. We do not charge performance fees or carry. A modest administration fee of 1–2% covers platform and operational costs. We find the opportunities, invest our own money, and then invite qualified investors to participate on the same terms.
Our team reviews hundreds of early-stage companies each year. We filter ruthlessly for proven operators, defensible markets, and clear revenue models.
Before presenting any opportunity, we commit our own capital. If we would not invest our own money, we do not ask you to invest yours.
Qualified investors receive a detailed briefing — business plan, financial model, legal documents, and our own investment thesis.
We secure board observer rights, provide quarterly reporting, and work alongside management teams to ensure accountability.
Every investment has a defined exit strategy from day one. Objective: liquidity within 3–5 years.
SEIS and EIS are the UK government's flagship programmes for encouraging private investment into early-stage companies. For qualified investors, they represent the most tax-efficient structures available anywhere in the world.
After three years, SEIS CGT exemption means every penny of profit is yours — tax-free.
If the worst happens, loss relief reduces your actual loss to as little as £6,250.
“Invest £25,000. Risk £6,250. Target £300,000. Tax-free.”
