Fund managers

Founder + Lightning is a pioneering Venture Studio and Fund, that invests in Founders to build and grow their businesses.

We invest in B2B companies that have the potential to use tech to radically increase their value. We use our decade-long skillset and resources to help them realise that potential, by co-building technology solutions.

Our headquarters are in London, but we have teams in India, Poland and all across the world. We are proud of our 130+ team, 6 investments and 30 portfolio companies that have a combined value of £150m+, multiple of which are now at Series A.

Too many tech companies in the UK fail, and frustratingly it’s often for the same reasons over and over. If we’re to live in the kind of society we all want to live in, we need more founders to succeed– that is what drives the Founder + Lightning model.

SIS Ventures is an impact investment firm based in Edinburgh. Authorised by FCA and following best impact practice, as Scotland’s first signatories to the Operating Principles for Impact Management.  The fund ensures impact considerations are integrated throughout the investment lifecycle and align commercial growth and impact potential.

It invests in innovative purpose-led businesses that are focussed on social and environmental impact across United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.  Sector agnostic but typically the portfolio invests in IP-rich companies across life sciences, climate tech, circular economy and agri-biotech.
