About Us

We are a group of entrepreneurs, investors and advisors who have witnessed first-hand how difficult it is for early-stage UK businesses to raise funding, particularly those based in the UK regions or outside the tech industry.

The UK currently has a rare opportunity to reshape the economy for the benefit of wider society, but we need to create a higher wage, high skill economy with the benefits enjoyed across the country.

We believe the most effective way to level up is by radically increasing access to venture capital for ambitious companies in geographies, industries and communities which are often overlooked.

We set up Waterspring Ventures to help rebalance the regional funding mismatch.

We aim to create a fairer version of venture capital, with a particular interest in Wales, the South West and the Midlands.
