Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
Newable Ventures (originally London Business Angels) backs entrepreneurs through a network of more than 500 angel investors, investing via its own EIS evergreen fund and curating syndicates with co-investment partners. It targets approximately 7–10 knowledge-intensive, deep technology companies per year — focusing on early-stage and scaling businesses in medtech, AI, space, robotics, and industrial technologies — bridging the gap between seed and Series A for companies that have de-risked their technology and developed customer traction but now need capital to scale commercial operations. The fund targets a diversified portfolio of unquoted UK companies, seeking an average annualised IRR of 20% or 3x capital. Newable's investment criteria emphasise B2B businesses with specialist sector expertise, the ability to export, and recurring revenues. Beyond capital, Newable provides hands-on support through its Growth Team across finance, HR, marketing, digital, and ESG.
Notable quotes
“This funding commitment forms part of an exciting and ambitious drive to level up business investment across the UK and increase the amount of capital being invested into small British businesses at the core of our economy. Newable Ventures' investment model, combining its EIS Fund with experienced business angels, is a powerful recipe for powering business growth.”
“This collaboration with Maven Capital Partners aligns with our vision to empower the UK's SMEs and startups. We are excited about the new opportunities this partnership will bring to our investors and the companies we support.”
“We're specifically looking for businesses that have specialist sector expertise and the ability to export. It's not a particularly new idea. It's what 3i set out to do 40 years ago.”
