NESTA Investments

edit

£50million Venture Capital fund focused on early stage technology companies in Digital / Software, Hardware / microelectronics, Lifesciences and Cleantech.

NESTA is a genuinely unique Venture Capitalist with a privileged position at the heart of the UK Investment scene. Our £50million evergreen fund allows us to work with teams and portfolio companies to build a close, supportive relationship over a number of years.

Our team brings a host of expertise and support to our portfolio companies ranging from access to our Investment Committee chaired by Mike Lynch (Founder and Chief Exec of Autonomy), to support from our Venture Partners and connections to NESTA’s wider contacts, events and research.

We have co-invested with virtually every major UK based Venture Fund and have made investments in five funds giving us an exceptional reach in to sources of further funding and the wider expertise of the Venture Capital community.

Our house style is to align interests and build great companies so we aim to work with teams to build a close supportive relationship over a number of years.
