Governance

Clear rules, written down and applied to everyone.

Trust is earned in the detail. These are the standards we hold ourselves to, and what founders, owners and partners can expect.

Standards

How decisions are made and checked.

Separation of duties: Reviewers never approve their own work. Every investment is approved by the investment committee on a written memo.
Know your counterparty: Identity and ownership of every company, founder and co-investor are verified and screened against sanctions lists before money moves.
Anti-money laundering: Funds are only received from, and paid to, verified accounts in the verified party's name.
Conflicts of interest: Anyone with a personal interest declares it and steps out of the review.
Confidentiality: Proposals are seen only by those who need to. A company's file is shared with co-investors only with its agreement.
Data protection: Personal data is handled as set out in our privacy notice.
Records: Every step of every review is logged and kept.
