How it works

How we're Aligned

We optimise for power-law outcomes and companies that can compound for years. As such we only earn our carry once our investors actually realise a profit on their investment.

It’s a structure designed to reward patience, alignment, and long-term outcomes.

In short, we provide:

Superior deal flow (via ThatRound access)
Curated community (experienced angels, operators & founders)
Diligence leverage (collective expertise)

Step 1: Source

Proprietary early access to pre-seed & seed rounds through ThatRound, giving us visibility into exceptional UK startups long before the wider market.

Step 2: Filter

We handle all of the heavy lifting and eliminate 99% of opportunities that we see.

For the top 1% of our deal flow, we meet the founders, evaluate traction, pricing, and team quality, and only bring forward the select few where we hold genuine, internal conviction.

Step 3: Community screening

Once we’ve identified a top 1% opportunity, interested members opt into a collaborative screening session.
‍
This is not about sourcing deals, it’s about stress-testing conviction, asking sharper questions, and leveraging domain expertise.

We bring the deal; the community strengthens the insight.

Step 4: Invest

Members invest individually and on their own terms, with a minimum £10k commitment per deal.

No pressure, no obligations, just access to the most compelling companies that we’ve already vetted.
