About Arts Alliance Advisors

Arts Alliance Advisors, operating as Arts Alliance Ventures, is a London-based Venture Capital Fund specializing in early-stage investments. They focus primarily on IT, Media, BioTech, Hardware and Manufacturing, Energy, HealthTech and Fitness, and Material Science industries. With an emphasis on equity investment, they partner closely with founders of companies at the early stages, typically when a prototype has been developed. They take on a hands-on approach, engaging with their portfolio companies at both operational and strategic levels, and may assume roles like CFO, head of product, or legal counsel, or help in recruiting key team members. Unlike traditional investors, they are not constrained by fund lifetimes, affording them the flexibility to support their companies over the long term. Their portfolio includes diverse ventures such as Garden Studios, a sustainable film studio in London; SwiftComply, a regulatory tech for hospitality; and Kebony, an environmentally friendly wood modification technology. They also invest in education through MetFilm School, technology with Skai, entertainment with Lucky Voice, and have had notable exits with companies such as Shazam, LOVEFiLM, lastminute.com, and Ocado. Arts Alliance Media, another one of their ventures, is a digital cinema software and services provider with a global reach. The team is led by founder and CEO Thomas Hegh, an artist and businessman with a focus on user experience, supported by investment director Gavin Roberts, and other dedicated professionals such as associate Haig Wiseman and analyst Anna Snape.
