Create Value

Invest With Us

Imagine you could get up to 50% cashback on investments in early stage start ups, with zero capital gains tax payable if things go well and up to a further 25% refunded just in case it doesn’t?

That’s exactly how we’re investing through HMRC’s Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme.

We’re a team of entrepreneurs and finance professionals investing our own money into exciting projects and working “hands on” with them to help them grow.

Whether you’re looking to invest £100k or £100, our mission is to help you create value.

A rich man was going on a journey so he entrusted some of his wealth to his servants.

To one he gave five talents, to another he gave two and to another he gave one.

After a long time, the master returned to settle accounts with these servants.

The servant with five talents had produced another five and the one given two yielded a further two, pleasing the master greatly.

Yet the one who had only one talent buried it and did nothing, fearing that he might lose his master’s money.

Returning only what he had been given, his master was angry and had him thrown in jail.

Don’t be that guy.

Founders, we've been in your shoes!

Building a company from nothing is hard. Raising money from investors is even harder. Attempting to do both at the same time is a near impossible task.

But it doesn’t need to be this way when you can get support from people that have been in your shoes.
 

We’re on your side – and we’ll prove it by investing our own money in your project and our time in you.

We take a “hands on” approach to help you grow your business and we’ll even handle the fundraising for you.

Sound too good to be true? We really do walk the walk – read our testimonials.

I met Gareth in December 2018 and it changed my life! A few months later after taking time to fully understand the business, Gareth had transformed the commercials and reshaped the franchise model we're now scaling up. Gareth helped me devise and execute a two-year personal financial plan, and with ease, he executed a perfect plan for me to sell my existing business with remarkable success. Amazing!

I brought Gareth in to assist with Urban Pursuit in October 2019 and his focus on the financial model helped me realise what a great opportunity we had to grow. He's also advised on re-structuring the business so that I can see more financial benefit from the hard work I've put into this project. We're now working on a fundraising strategy which has got off to an amazing start.

Leaders Growth Track

If you’re ambitious about a career in business, but perhaps not yet ready to lead your own project, we’d love to help you start your journey by working in ours.

We’re creating businesses with a high-growth culture that’s dynamic, exciting and demanding. Exposure to working in that environment will develop the mindset, tools and confidence to excel in your own career.

Whether you go on to lead your own business one day or as part of a team – you’ll need to develop the same soft skills and learn to think analytically.

In addition to the hands on experience that you’ll get from working with our entrepreneurs, you’ll also receive executive education from a premier business school.

I've always had an entrepreneurial streak and, while overflowing with ideas, never quite knew how to take my first steps. Since meeting Gareth my life has changed drastically. I'm loving my work and learning more every day. I've gained confidence in my abilities and I'm now turning my ideas into reality!

I've now been involved in both FanHub and Fox Cycling from a marketing perspective and as well as learning from them, they have also given me the opportunity to develop my own ideas and handed me the responsibility to implement them.
