Shackleton Ventures

Shackleton Ventures specialises in secondary venture and development capital investments, buying existing holdings from investors seeking liquidity and often providing new funding alongside secondary purchases. The firm focuses on markets where its team members have direct experience as investors and entrepreneurs, targeting companies with potential to accelerate the energy transition, enhance human health, or deliver impact through digital transformation. Through its FCA-authorised subsidiary Shackleton Finance Limited, the firm manages four funds and has achieved over 25 profitable exits, while also making direct investments in promising earlier-stage ventures. Shackleton brings practical support — simplifying capital structures, creating new management incentives, shaping strategic focus, and providing fresh capital — to reinvigorate companies whose development has extended beyond the horizon originally envisaged by early backers.
