Our model.
It takes more than money to transform a big idea into a world-changing business. Startups with high-growth potential need strong foundations to succeed. So we invest early and add value right from the start.
Our funding options and full-stack startup studio have been crafted to help founders beat the odds through the earliest stages and beyond.
We invest early.
We focus on pre-seed and seed stage investments. Investing early means smaller investments with significant ownership stakes, and a naturally diversified portfolio. We grow with our businesses, participating in follow-on rounds up to series A.
Great deals on
early-stage equity.
We’re investing for higher stakes at much lower valuations than traditional industry growth capital.
Great returns with a diversified portfolio.
Our investments are naturally diversified - generating returns from a higher volume of mid-level exits.
Potential for fund out-performance.
We hunt for outliers, not just unicorns. If a unicorn does appear in the herd our fund outperforms predictions.
Forward attracts a large and diverse pipeline of deals.
We’re at the heart of an incredible technology ecosystem in London and scour it for promising teams tackling the most exciting opportunities. We have developed a unique, data-driven approach to screening companies and founders.
