24Haymarket are a private capital firm focused on disruptive early stage venture and growth equity investments in the UK.  Since inception in 2012, we have invested more than £74 million in 50 companies holding an average of 18% equity ownership.

We follow a strict investment thesis with a focus on verticals – Digital Healthcare, Ed Tech, Cybersecurity, Enterprise Software, Supply Chain and Logistics Technology, Fin Tech, Insure Tech and Legal Services Tech – in the nascent stages of high growth where we can leverage proprietary insight from our Investor Network.  We adhere to an active investment philosophy with a right to a board seat in each investment we pursue combined with an involved post-investment model.

Headquartered in London, with a regional office in Edinburgh, we are distinguished by the calibre and engagement of the 24Haymarket Investor Network.  Our Investor Network includes 100+ senior business leaders combining 3,000+ years of business experience with Director-level experience in companies worth a collective £700 billion.

AI VentureFlows SEIS Fund brings together leading AI experts and one of the founders of MICAP, a top SEIS research provider, to launch a pioneering AI-focused SEIS fund. Combining technical specialism, deep start-up experience, and access to innovation, the Fund invests in companies harnessing AI for data analysis, automation, and complex problem-solving.

Despite over 70 years of development, AI remains in its early stages, offering vast opportunities for innovation across hardware, software, and applications in all industries. While Big Tech pursues current trends, VentureFlows seeks to back new entrants with smart, real-world solutions — including those targeting the future potential of superintelligence.

The Fund will primarily invest in companies emerging from premier UK incubators, ensuring a portfolio of rigorously selected, high-calibre start-ups with access to top mentorship and resources. Members of VentureFlows’ team have direct experience with leading AI incubators, providing early access to the best upcoming ventures.

VentureFlows believes that AI start-ups offer strong exit potential, with likely interest from AI-focused VCs and Big Tech firms seeking strategic acquisitions.

VentureFlows was founded by Professor Andy Pardoe, a leading authority on AI, Andrew Irwin — the “I” in MICAP and a veteran of SEIS/EIS investing — and Bruce Elliott-Smith, a leading backer of SEIS companies and a Grammy Award-winning music producer. They are supported by a network of advisers and specialists, aiming to help investors access the next wave of AI innovation

Anotherway Ventures is a venture capital fund that invests exclusively in businesses eligible for SEIS or EIS tax relief. Since our founding, we have raised and deployed two S/EIS tranches (for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 tax years), and are raising a third tranche later this year. We focus on consumer product businesses, a sector that often faces greater challenges in accessing institutional capital, making the S/EIS scheme particularly valuable. We also aim to make S/EIS investing more accessible through our approach: typically leading rounds, conducting due diligence, and managing legal documentation so others can invest alongside us with confidence.

We like to think of Ascension as the fund of choice for founders and investors, and were thrilled to be crowned Seed VC of the Year in 2022 by the UK Business Angels Association (UKBAA).

We are an early-stage VC built by exited entrepreneurs to back the next generation of tech and impact founders. One quarter of the business is owned by our Venture Partners, which include the co-founder of Moderna and the UKBAA Angel of the year 2020. Our team and Venture Partners have invested over £4m of their own money into Ascension funds.

Ascension is rated as a Fund Manager with a Top 10 EIS track record by MICAP, has a score of 86 by Tax Efficient Review, and has been managing SEIS/EIS Funds for the last 10 years. Ascension has had 14 successful exits to date including two at 10x, as well as another three at 8x, 6x, and 5x.
