Beacon Capital

Beacon guides you across the chasm to scale and Series A. 

They understand the unique challenges of companies travelling the precarious path from a minimal viable product to establishing real commercial leverage in their target market. Having a clear vision and identifying the right technology is a given. Execution is critical, and this is where their experience with business development, team building and strong investor relations can help.

After Series A, there are enough funds investing into companies and they’re doing it well. At this stage, their mission is to do what others don’t yet do in Europe: offer you liquidity so their goals can align for a long and ambitious future.

Beacon believes that offering liquidity at the right time is vital to allowing founders to gain the financial freedom to thrive in their personal lives. Companies continue to take longer to exit which leaves founders stuck, often tempted by suboptimal exits. Liquidity empowers you to make bold decisions to build a category-leader.

They have a laser-sharp focus on European tech ventures that solve significant problems for the enterprise customer and help them succeed globally. They do not invest in ventures that target or serve directly the interests of consumers (B2C). They look for transformative enterprise solutions which can grow to billion-size businesses on the basis of strong recurring revenue potential and inherently scalable models. In exceptional circumstances, they may consider investments outside our focus.

Beacon targets initial cheques of £0.5m – £2m and aims to at least double that amount in subsequent rounds. This includes primary investments pre-Series A and secondary at post A.

Beacon Capital has raised a total of £35M in a single venture fund, Beacon Tech I. This fund was announced on Jun 21, 2021 and raised a total of £35M.

Portfolio: Lifebit, Zinklar, Cognism, Crimson.
