We focus on what matters in venture

People invest in venture because of the potentially spectacular returns and the enormous impact your money can have on the world. A $5k investment in Uber at seed round was worth $24.8m at IPO.

To unlock the best returns in venture, you need to get access to the best deals in venture. We consistently do this through our network.

We also make sure that over 60% of our deals are into companies led by black, ethnic minority, female or Muslim founders.

The benefits of our offering

Higher returns Early investors in very successful startups can make material returns. Of course many companies fail, but the overall average return can be high if you diversify and pick a few winners.

Access the best startups As a start up ourselves we are best places to access great deals through our network and can help add value to grow your investment.

Tax efficient Our startup investments are usually SEIS and EIS compatible. This means that you get a tax rebate in year 1 of between 30-50% and do not need to pay Capital Gains Tax or Inheritance tax

Cur8 EIS Venture Fund (Europe)

We are not...

A crowdfunding platform or broker.

When a platform makes its fees by charging startups to raise money for them that misaligns interests with investors. Misalignment leads to sub-optimal returns.

It also means you don't get access to the most competitive deals (as the best startups are not short of suitors).
