Molten Ventures (formerly Draper Esprit) is a London-listed, evergreen European VC that backs high-growth private technology companies across the UK and Europe. It primarily leads Series A and B rounds in four technology pillars—Enterprise & SaaS, Deep Tech & Hardware, Consumer Technology, and Digital Health—while also gaining early-stage exposure through a fund-of-funds programme (LP in ~79 seed funds). The firm combines balance-sheet capital with co-managed EIS/VCT funds to invest across the full company lifecycle without being tied to fixed fund cycles, and takes an active, board-level role in portfolio development to drive exits via acquisitions, trade buy-outs, or IPOs.
