7percent Ventures

What is 7percent Ventures?

7percent Ventures is a venture capital firm focusing on early-stage technology startups with transformative potential. They endeavor to invest in companies that tackle significant problems with solutions capable of influencing multitudes. Targeting a billion-dollar market opportunity is central to their investment thesis.

With specialties in sectors such as DeepTech, A.I., Quantum Computing, Computer Vision, AR/VR, Blockchain, Crypto, Drones, Robotics, Space-Tech, SaaS platforms, HealthTech, and more, 7percent Ventures seeks innovation across various disciplines. Founded in 2014, with headquarters in London and a presence in San Francisco, they support geographic diversity but display a bias towards UK, Europe, and US markets.

Their investment sizes range from $75k to $1m, terms conducive to the early life-cycle stages, namely pre-seed to Series B. Engagement with startups at their conceptual phase up to growth stages indicates their dedication to nurturing companies from the onset. The firm prides itself on a hands-on support approach through their 7EVN advisor network and partnerships with other early-stage, founder-friendly VCs and angel investors.

On the website, their ethos is clear - they are in pursuit of 'moonshots,’ the ideas that promise to redefine markets and consumer experiences over the next decade. Excluded from their portfolio are non-tech sectors such as FMCG and retail goods, or any venture that doesn't present a path to a billion-dollar valuation.

Through this focused and ambitious lens, 7percent Ventures aspires to contribute to the next generation of market-leading companies.
