About The Fund

Exceptional Ventures is a London-based venture capital firm specializing in early-stage investments. They focus on nurturing startups that aim to enhance the quality of life by extending what they refer to as the 'Joyspan,' advocating for individuals to live longer, healthier, and happier lives. The firm actively invests in a variety of industries including BioTech, Business Solutions, FinTech and Financial Services, Retail and E-Commerce, HealthTech and Fitness, Cloud Services and Infrastructure, Food and Beverage, Insurance and InsurTech, Medical Devices and Hospital Services, Healthcare and Wellness, and Consumer products. They provide funding to companies mainly at pre-seed, seed, and early Series A and B stages, with a special emphasis on businesses within the UK and EU, while also considering global opportunities on a case-by-case basis. Exceptional Ventures has earmarked 20-25% of its fund for reserves, meant for follow-on funding to support the continued growth of its portfolio companies. Over a three-year period, they aim to build a portfolio of around 40 companies (40x first checks) and plan to follow on in 10-15 Series A rounds. The firm's investment criteria include a minimum investment of £100,000, a maximum investment of £5,000,000, and an investment 'sweet spot' of around £1,500,000. Exceptional Ventures is led by co-founders Paolo Pio, a former Silicon Valley technology executive turned venture capitalist, and Matt Cooper, a seasoned angel investor and corporate leader involved with various high-growth UK start-ups. The firm’s overarching investment thesis centers around transforming industries and enriching lives through innovative health, wellness, and financial solutions, considering the long-term societal benefits and the financial wellbeing of consumers. Through their portfolio and strategic investments, they seek to support revolutionary ideas that can scale and have a meaningful impact on society.
