LQD Ventures invests in founders disrupting the way humanity addresses fundamental needs, helping to transform scientific breakthroughs into globally relevant successes. The firm focuses on science-driven, engineering-centric B2B companies across five clusters: Applied AI, BioTech, TechBio, Advanced Computing (including quantum, neuromorphic, and biocomputing), and Advanced Engineering (including robotics, drones/UAVs, and advanced materials). LQD backs early-stage UK deep tech startups — at pre-seed, seed, and seed-plus — that are building defensible, scalable intellectual property with customer-centric go-to-market strategies. The firm leverages deep ties to the UK university spinout ecosystem (Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, Sheffield, Glasgow, UCL and others) and a network of family office LPs to identify and support innovative companies before the world catches on.
