Investment Criteria
Rationale
- AI/Big Data/Cloud/Mobile & Social are rapidly playing a paradigm-shifting role in the space.
- Startups and SMEs in this sector are underserved by generalist VC’s. There is a big void between Seed and Growth Stage Capital, providing for strong and niche deal flow.
- London (and the UK) is acknowledged to have the most vibrant ecosystems after Silicon Valley for technology start-ups.
- Monolithic HRIS systems, once a mainstay of large organizations, are no longer fit for purpose. Nimble digital start-ups with niche products & services are sought after to fill the breach.
Market Opportunity
- Remote working is here to stay and a hybrid workforce will need digital and AI solutions.
- The crisis has exponentially increased familiarity in using digital tech.
- Businesses are under increased pressure to reduce human capital costs.
- We believe people tech is becoming a prominent sector investors should be focusing on.
