Over the next five years, we will invest $1.5bn to help ambitious entrepreneurs realize their potential to become leaders in their fields – people with life-changing ideas and the drive to turn them into reality.

The businesses we back range from start-ups that are re-writing the rule book to established innovators seeking rapid growth. They all share:

• Exceptional leadership with entrepreneurial ambition and proven technical and business expertise, and

• Disruptive technology and the vision to create a new market, or gain significant share of an existing market.

We typically invest between $2m and $50m, from seed to late stage.  Our expertise in the following sectors is based on years of experience, resulting in a number of billion-dollar companies:

• IT –  from mobile telecoms and intelligent devices, software, Internet and online media to electronics and semiconductors. 

• Healthcare – from biotech companies turning ‘personalized medicine’ into reality to medtech companies at the cutting edge of transplant technology.

• Cleantech – from renewable energy sources, such as solar and biofuels, to water purification and the production of entirely new materials that can radically change the way we use natural resources.

                    
Once we’ve committed to you, we back you all the way.  We tailor the best global team for you, make the right introductions and offer strategic guidance to accelerate your success.
