Investable Deals Direct to your Inbox

Each month, you'll receive 1 to 2 top SIES/SIS eligible investment opportunities personally selected from a carefully curated list of pre-vetted, lightly-diligenced, early-stage technology startups from across the UK.

We do the back-work and bring you deals you'd typically never have time to scout.

Start-Ups

The investment opportunities will range from pre-Seed to Series-A startups in SaaS, Life Sciences, FinTech, Proptech, E-Commerce, Infrastructure and other industries, direct from UK universities, accelerators, incubators and other sources.

The selected opportunities will be emailed to you based on your preferences and interests.

Investors

This service was created for Angel Investors, High Net Worth Individuals, and Family Offices across the UK, offering access to only the very best deals and to save them time and money on research and diligence.

If you invest in startups and want better deal flow, are new to investing, or looking for professional scouting, we can support this.

Access to Early-Stage deals, early

Deal-flow is important. More important is quality deal flow. Most important is timing.

We have early access to opportunities through a network of VCs, investors, funds, accelerators, incubators, coworking spaces, newsletters, podcasts, and inbound pitches we receive monthly.

Deal Flow Sources

Accelerators & Studios

Accelerators and Startup Studios are incredible sources for early opportunities. Techstars alone runs 400 companies through their programs per year, and there are over 170 other accelerator programs and over 80 Startup Studios in the UK alone.
We also build relationships with University backed innovation centres for technology based start-ups.

Angel & Venture Funds

Funds see some of the best deals, and while these are still early stage deals, co-investing with established venture funds minimizes risk and diligence/time. You'll be seeing deals before, but also have the opportunity to co-invest with these funds.

Newsletters & Inbound

Newsletters, Podcasts, Slack, and Inbound pitches from Angellist, F6S, Linkedin, and email, lead to ~200 investable deals per month. Deals you'd typically never see, nor have time to evaluate for investment.

We do that first sense-check, cover the fundamentals and let you know.

Only the Best Startups

Traction, Revenue, Data, KPIs, Projections, MoM%, and ARR matter very much, but so often the culture, team, ethos, energy, and momentum, and other factors are overlooked. I meet with the founders, the team, use their product, interview their customers, partners, and sift through their financials and governance to bring you only the most investable companies.

These will be founders you can invest in over and over because they are as great people and even better operators.

Personalized Service

These deals are hand-picked and based on your focus, interest, region, or simply because it's an incredible opportunity, but the service doesn't stop there: If you're interested in one of the opportunities, email us back and be connected directly to the founder(s) with a warm introduction, or remain anonymous and we can handle the negotiations.

Access additional services such as Due Diligence, Industry Analysis, Financial Audit, Cap Table/SOP review, and others available as needed with the advanced package,
