Innovation Financing
Funding for startups and early-stage ventures
We help startups and young technology companies raise the money each stage needs: angels and seed rounds, venture funds, corporate investors, research and technology funds, knowledge-based facilities and crowdfunding. We set a valuation you can defend, prepare the story and the numbers, and introduce you to investors who fit.

Common questions
At what stage can you help?
From the first outside round, usually when there is a product and first customers, through to growth rounds.
Do you invest in startups yourselves?
Our advice is independent. Where we manage a fund, any investment goes through that fund's own process and committee.
How are you paid?
Usually a modest fixed fee plus a success fee when the round closes.
