Ways we invest

Three ways to back what is next.

Every investment starts from a real industry problem and a technology-led way to solve it, built with partners and people we want to work with.

01

Tech-led businesses

We invest in businesses where technology is the product and a real industry problem is the focus, at the right stage for us to add real value.

02

Service-led to tech-led

For established businesses with deep industry knowledge that want to become technology-led for their industry. We bring engineering, AI and platform standards.

03

With partners

We invest alongside industry partners and other investors who share the mission and know the sector, and for the right business, the route is to join the group.

The transformation

From service-led to tech-led.

Many businesses with deep industry knowledge are limited by how many people they can add. We help them turn that knowledge into technology, so growth no longer depends on headcount alone.

  • Output grows with headcount
  • Knowledge sits in people’s heads
  • One client at a time
  • Margins get squeezed as you grow
  • Output grows with the platform
  • Knowledge is built into software
  • Many clients on the same engine
  • AI does the heavy lifting, people validate

Every conversation is different. We look at each business on its own merits, and we will tell you honestly whether we are a fit and how we could work together.
A quick self-check

Does your business fit?

Tick what applies. It is an informal conversation starter, not an application, an assessment or an offer.

Tick the statements that describe your business.

Good start. Every business is different, so tell us your story even if not every box is ticked.

That sounds like a conversation worth having. Tell us about the business, the problem and the people.

How we invest

A clear, respectful process.

01

Introduction

Tell us about the business, the problem and the people. A short note is enough.

02

Fit

We look at technology, mission and sector fit, and tell you honestly where we stand.

03

Diligence

We learn the business in depth, and we meet the team and the customers.

04

Partnership

We agree the structure and how we will work together after the investment.

This page describes our general approach. It is not an offer or an invitation to invest in IMS Tech Global or any other business, and it is not a financial promotion.
