Investment thesis

Force Over Mass Capital (FOMCAP) is an FCA-regulated, London-based venture capital firm founded in 2013 that invests in B2B innovation across four verticals — Fintech, Artificial Intelligence, SaaS, and Industry 4.0 — at the early stage across the UK and Europe. The firm operates both a Seed/EIS Fund (targeting pre-seed to seed-stage startups via SEIS/EIS tax-efficient structures) and a Growth/Scale-Up Fund (targeting Series A to Series B+ opportunities), deploying capital in staged tranches and maintaining dynamically managed positions. FOMCAP differentiates itself through financial re-engineering of the venture capital model: implementing proper governance mechanisms, dynamically managed positions, and — most recently — a semi-liquid fund structure with embedded secondaries-by-design, making venture compatible with institutional and pension fund allocators. The firm backs contrarian founders with conviction, leveraging its own proprietary technology platform (Floww) and data analytics to source, evaluate, and support over 150 portfolio companies.

Notable quotes

After a decade of delivering superior returns and building out a Fintech myself, it became clear to me that the VC formula for success is changing: what was required to win 10 years ago is not what will win in the next 10 years.

You go in early, so it is all about the team. You make an assessment based on three parameters – are they incredibly smart, are they incredibly creative and are they so determined that they will keep pushing forward?
