Investment thesis

Volution is a London-based venture capital firm building a dedicated SaaS and FinTech fund. The firm seeks out ambitious teams that have raised Series A and are ready to accelerate their growth to Series B and beyond, targeting companies with at least £5M ARR that have established product-market fit and a solid go-to-market strategy. Volution focuses on the productivity challenge in capital markets and enterprise solutions, leveraging emerging transformational technologies including AI, machine learning, and blockchain. The firm takes an active, hands-on role as investors — its Venture Partners, founders and operators in their own right, work with management on go-to-market, sales, fundraising, and international expansion. Volution is differentiated by its willingness to deploy capital into growth-stage companies via convertibles and secondaries, plugging a structural funding gap post-Series A. The firm also runs a 'Carbon Carry' ESG initiative that incentivises portfolio CEOs to adopt responsible and sustainable business practices.

Notable quotes

Investment at the inflection point of international growth is critical for the tech company and offers the most significant returns for LPs.

James Codling · TechCrunch / Silicon Canals, April 28 2025 · 2025-04-28

We back companies that are typically anywhere between 5 million in revenue and up to 20.

James Codling · TechCrunch, April 28 2025 · 2025-04-28

Volution is fundamentally differentiated in that we actively look to deploy money into growth stage companies who prefer to delay their next formal funding round by taking on convertibles.
