    General Information

    Venture Founders Limited (FRN 613003) was an FCA-authorised EIS co-investment platform founded in 2013. The platform connected angel investors with early-stage UK startups, facilitating equity investments alongside experienced lead investors.

    The platform appears to have become dormant, with no recent investment activity or public communications evident. The company retains its FCA registration and Companies House filing, but its website and investment operations show no signs of active deal flow.

    How does it work?

    Venture Founders operated a co-investment model where experienced lead investors identified and negotiated deals with startups. The platform then opened these opportunities to its wider investor community, allowing co-investment alongside the lead investor on the same terms.

    What do they offer?

    Venture Founders previously offered EIS qualifying equity investments in early-stage UK companies with typical minimums from approximately £1,000. The co-investment model allowed investors to invest alongside experienced angels.

    These opportunities are no longer being actively offered based on publicly available information.

    Who is it for?
