What we back

Four things we look for.

01

Technology at the core

The product is the technology. We do not back ideas where software is an afterthought.

02

An industry leader involved

Someone who knows the sector deeply and wants to change how it works.

03

Positive change we can measure

Better outcomes for people, places or the planet, with evidence to show it.

04

Human by design

AI that prepares and people who decide. Accountability stays with humans.

What we bring

More than a cheque.

Engineering and AI

Enterprise-grade engineering and our proprietary AI, ALICE and CARA, as a foundation to build on.

Enterprise standards

Security, reliability, scalability and auditability built in from the start.

A network and a footprint

Deployments and projects across the UK and the Middle East.

Operating support

Practical help with product, delivery and getting to market, from people who have done it.

How we work

A clear path from idea to impact.

01

Conversation

We talk about the problem, the people and the ambition. No deck needed.

02

Co-design

We shape the idea together and agree what success looks like.

03

Build and prove

We build the first version with real users and measure what changes.

04

Scale together

We scale what works, with the right structure and shared ownership.

What we do not do

We are not a generalist fund. We do not back ideas without technology at their core, and we do not build for its own sake.
