Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
Pact is a London-based early-stage venture capital firm investing in pre-seed and seed-stage technology companies across three core themes it calls 'ABC': Access (providing products and services to underserved markets, including fintech, financial inclusion, and SME-tech), Betterment (enabling personal and professional development and well-being through healthtech, education, and future-of-work solutions), and Climate (addressing sustainability and climate change through climate-tech, circular economy, agri-tech, and energy transition). Founded by a diverse team of operators with 40+ years of combined experience across the UK, US, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Pact aims to be the first institutional ticket into rounds, writing checks of £1–1.5 million, and helping portfolio companies scale into regions underserved by traditional investors. The firm's mission is to back exceptional founders building innovative solutions that democratise access, support well-being, and contribute to sustainability — generating both outstanding financial returns and meaningful positive impact.
Notable quotes
“Sidekick addresses wealth disparity and the limited options in the market, which often restrict investors to extreme ends of the spectrum: solely passive investing or active speculating. By catering to an underserved segment with innovative financial products and inclusive wealth-creation opportunities, Sidekick is changing private wealth for the new generation.”
“In two years, we've built a portfolio of 12 investments – each one representing founders who are tackling defining challenges of our time. From climate innovation to AI's transformation of work, from democratising opportunities for SMEs to advancing financial and personal wellbeing – these entrepreneurs are building solutions that matter.”
“There are many good talented companies in the UK regional ecosystems because of their proximity to good universities. That's where we want to spend more time, looking for interesting deals and supporting founders from these regions.”
