With headquarters in the UK, Hoxton Ventures is a venture capital firm that specializes in early-stage investments, predominantly focusing on European companies within a wide range of sectors such as software, biotech, business solutions, fintech, hardware, energy, retail, sales, IoT, cleantech, A.I., healthtech, web security, gaming, advertising, analytics, cloud services, medical devices, robotics, consumer products, pharmaceuticals, and women-focused initiatives. Hoxton Ventures carries a Silicon Valley mindset to European venture capital, identifying startups in various industries that show promise in creating new market categories with significant growth potential. The firm is known for being anti-thematic, investing in companies not based on current market trends but rather on the founders' vision of future significance. They have a preference for startups that aim to tackle the US market early on, using their extensive network and experience in Silicon Valley to assist their portfolio companies in establishing US market presence. Hoxton Ventures places a strong emphasis on innovation, potential for massive scale, and is comfortable with the inherent imperfections of startups, choosing to focus on maximizing upside rather than protecting against downside. The firm is active in pre-seed, seed to Series A funding rounds, and is not just a source of capital but prides itself on being a partner that offers support and candid advice. Their investment range starts at a minimum of $200,000 and can go up to a maximum of $6,000,000, with a 'sweet spot' of approximately $3,000,000 per investment. Currently, they manage assets worth about $215,000,000 and have a track record that includes several IPOs, acquisitions, and successful follow-on funding rounds. Hoxton Ventures also values diversity, with a significant percentage of their investments going to teams that are technically diverse.
