NoBa Capital is a high-conviction, hands-on investor in early-stage tech-enabled businesses shaping the Future of Work. Its mission is to positively impact 10 million workers by investing in ambitious start-ups whose portfolio companies deliver worker-centric solutions — whether through access to work opportunities, career development, diversity and inclusion, financial wellbeing, or flexible employment. The firm operates three investment programmes: NoBa Spark (idea-stage to launch, hands-on 0-1 support), NoBa Elevate (pre-seed, early build to product-market fit), and NoBa Scale (seed, including leading rounds, from product development to growth). NoBa is community-driven, partnering closely with founders and providing active board involvement, governance support, and go-to-market guidance. It targets UK-based, SEIS/EIS-qualifying, tech-enabled B2B SaaS, B2B2C, or marketplace businesses with a clear vision for global expansion.
