Tech Series A funding – £2 mil +
Funding a growing business is always a challenge – not everyone hits 103% of target (congratulations Ben Legg and team!).
Here at ScaleUp Focus we work closely with subject matter experts to help our clients on their journey. The following will be of interest to anyone growing a tech based business themselves, or perhaps someone you are coaching or in your network.
This Tech Fund is seeking opportunities to invest in the next generation of tech entrepreneurs. Brief details are:
Broad investment remit
Geographical scope covers companies in the UK and EU
Investment made for a minority equity holding and board appointment
Ticket size is £2-15 mil
The scope of this fund ranges from sportstech to crypto.
I am always happy to jump on a call with my fellow porfolioers! Here is a link to my diary if you want to arrange a video call.

One of my portfolio roles is as Regional Ambassador for Capital Pilot. It sounds very grand, but I don’t get to attend any glamorous cocktail parties!
Capital Pilot is an investment assessment boutique (www.capitalpilot.com). We have recently launched the Boost Fund, which I think will be of interest to members of TPC who are setting up their own company and those advising, coaching and mentoring the founders of startups, who are looking to raise investment.Â
Key information on the fund is:
£50,000 investment available to 100 UK companies (total fund £5 mil)
Now open for applications; sector agnostic
2.5% deal fee deducted from the £50,000
Advanced subscription agreement used, so the lead investor prices the round
Application is through Capital Pilot’s Investability Rating (minimum rating 750 out of 1,000 to qualify)
£150 charge applies for the rating report (reduced to £100 with my unique code)
Optional service to support Boost Fund …
