Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
The Bayes Entrepreneurship Fund is a £15 million venture capital fund that partners with ambitious management teams who seek to build high-growth businesses. As a dedicated early-stage (but post-seed) fund, BEF provides meaningful financial and non-financial, board-level support to help businesses deliver on their plans. The fund invests in high-potential companies that are pursuing scalable market opportunities across multiple sectors, including SaaS, AI, healthcare, climate, consumer, fintech, proptech, and IoT. BEF supports revenue-generating businesses that have typically received a first round of concept-stage or seed funding. Given their background and networks, they tend to be more focused on B2B businesses, but have previously backed successful management teams in the B2C space and remain open to such opportunities. The fund can act as a lead investor, co-investor, or sole investor, and reserves funds for follow-on investments as portfolio companies grow.
