For Investors
Non-dilutive funding and commercial support for your portfolio.
For venture capital, growth equity, private equity and angel groups with UK portfolios or pipelines in automotive, advanced manufacturing, industrial technology and clean energy. Engineering and deep-tech companies often miss non-dilutive funding, and every missed award means a shorter runway or more equity raised.
Portfolio Funding Scan: A desk review of a defined set of portfolio or pipeline companies against current and upcoming UK funding, from Innovate UK and the DRIVE35 streams to UKRI, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships and regional supplier funds. You receive a one-page summary for each company, with the routes that fit best, the likely scale of funding, the main gaps and the timing, plus a portfolio overview ranking where the opportunity is largest and most time-critical. £2,500 fixed for up to ten companies, then £200 for each additional company. The full fee is credited against any Portfolio Company Readiness Reviews commissioned within 60 days.
Portfolio Company Readiness Review: A structured assessment of a company’s project against its chosen competition, from a kickoff session with the project lead to a written report and a 60 minute debrief within three weeks. The report rates technology readiness, theme fit, match funding, partners, commercial case and delivery plan, lists the gaps in priority order, and gives a clear view on whether to apply, wait or look elsewhere. With the company’s consent, a one-page summary for your investment team is included as standard. £1,950 per company, or £1,750 each when three or more are commissioned together, payable 50% on agreement and 50% on delivery, by the company or the fund.
Ongoing Funding & Commercial Support: A monthly retainer covering a named set of portfolio companies, including funding monitoring, bid planning, partner and consortium building, and business development support. You receive a monthly funding watch against each company, the agreed hours of hands-on support, and a short monthly note of what was done and what comes next. From £1,750 a month for about 15 hours, with a three-month minimum and then rolling one month’s notice from either side. Additional days are £650.
