PRIVATE CAPITAL, SOCIAL CONSCIENCE
INVEST. IMPROVE. DO GOOD.
We believe long-term financial success and strong business culture go hand in hand. As private investors, we look for opportunities that deliver attractive returns while also building organisations where people and ideas can thrive.
​
Our focus is on supporting businesses that:
-
create lasting value and sustainable growth
-
use data, technology and creativity to stay competitive
-
foster workplaces that attract and retain the best talent​
​
We see investment as more than capital — it is a way to strengthen culture, ambition and resilience. By backing businesses that combine performance with purpose, we aim to deliver strong returns while contributing to wider prosperity.
INVESTMENT PROFILE
We invest in and support the growth of European start up and scale -up technology businesses. Particularly those with a strong sense of mission and purpose.
​
We have deep, personal experience across multiple sectors (travel, dating, finance). Combined with our extensive networks we can bring to bear in helping technology companies scale and develop their cultures.
We are particularly focussed in the practice areas of culture, digital marketing, data science and advanced technology solutions.
