Funding
Investing from day zero through to Series A in e-commerce, marketplace, and applied AI startups, and funding growth through revenue-based finance.

We invest between £200k - £2M depending on the stage of the business.
Our focus is on Applied AI, Marketplaces and E-Commerce but we're open to ambitious companies outside our core thesis.
Our in-house team allows us to be more hands on than other investors, but there is no obligation to accept our operational support.
