Playfair Capital

Playfair Capital was founded by an angel investor in 2013.

As a pre-seed and seed stage fund, their initial ticket size can range between £100k - £600k in round sizes of up to £3m. Their founders can be pre-product or pre-revenue. No stage is too early.

They are sector-agnostic and this is reflective in their portfolio that spans Fintech (ThoughtMachine), Cybersecurity (Ravelin), Marketplaces (Trouva), Remote Working (Omnipresent), Artificial Intelligence (Sprout AI), Computer Vision (Recycleye & Orca AI), HealthTech (Vinehealth & uMed) and more.

They like to continuously expand their knowledge of specific areas by doing market deep dives - this helps with investment decision-making and to provide as much value as Board members as possible - but ultimately, they're generalist investors. They love the variety of looking at a HealthTech or Mobility startup one day, and a FinTech and Robotics startup the next. Here is a short list of sectors that they do NOT look at: AdTech/MarTech, Beauty, Crypto/Blockchain, Ecommerce, Fashion, Gambling, Gaming, Hardware, Lending, Medical Devices, SpaceTech.

Playfair Capital has raised a total of $62M across 2 funds, their latest being Playfair Capital Fund II. This fund was announced on Mar 7, 2019 and raised a total of $32M.
