Investment thesis

LocalGlobe positions itself as 'the trusted long-term partner for founders from pre-seed and seed,' backing exceptional founders tackling significant, scalable opportunities. The firm is sector-agnostic but trend-aware, investing across fintech, healthtech, consumer, marketplaces, deep tech, and AI, with a philosophy that emphasises founder quality and market opportunity identification over strict sector focus. It employs a proprietary 52-parameter evaluation framework combining quantitative rigour with qualitative insights such as founder dynamics and product vision. Operating out of Phoenix Court in London, LocalGlobe pursues a 'cradle-to-IPO' strategy, providing continuous backing from pre-seed through to IPO via sister funds Latitude (Series B+) and Solar. The firm leads the majority of its pre-seed and seed investments with board seat participation and hands-on operational support, including dedicated talent and GTM expertise. Its Phoenix Court Works foundation allocates 10% of profits to community projects in health, education, and climate change.
