Backing high-potential companies from early promise to scale, with conviction over diversification.
Venture and growth investing is where we back the companies that could define tomorrow, from early promise through to scale. We invest in high-potential businesses across stages, drawn to exceptional founders, genuine innovation, and markets large enough to matter. This is the highest-risk, highest-reward part of the portfolio, and we approach it with both ambition and discipline, accepting that not every bet will succeed while working hard to improve the odds. Our value to founders goes beyond capital: the group’s operating experience, networks, and capabilities can help a young company grow faster and avoid avoidable mistakes. We are active, supportive investors, but we respect that founders build companies, not their backers. Conviction matters more than diversification here; we would rather back fewer companies with real commitment than spread capital thinly. Because we invest across sectors, we can also connect the ventures we back into the wider group where it helps them. The aim is a growth portfolio that produces genuine winners, companies that justify the risk many times over. Where talent, timing, and a big market align, this is where outsized returns are made.
