Dot Matrix Group

About The Fund

Dot Matrix Group (DMG) is a London-based angel investment syndicate formed by a community of founders and operators to support the next generation of entrepreneurs. DMG's investment thesis revolves around leveraging their pool of capital, networks, and expertise to foster growth within the London tech startup ecosystem. They primarily focus on companies operating in Information Technology (IT), Telecommunications, Media and Technology (TMT), FinTech, and financial services, with the additional interest in Mobile and other innovative sectors. The syndicate offers a distinctive value proposition: aside from funding, they actively work to contribute their efforts pre and post-investment by integrating their extensive network and seasoned experience to guide startups toward not just growth but also successful exits. This support system is evident in their diligence procedures, which includes sharing investment memos with their members, encouraging an ongoing learning environment through inquiry and exploration, and investing their own money alongside their members in every opportunity. DMG considers hundreds of entrepreneurs annually, focusing on the execution to identify the most promising investment opportunities that are also SEIS or EIS eligible. They present their syndicate members with 3-5 carefully diligenced high-quality startups per year. Entry to the syndicate requires a one-off fee with no compulsory capital allocation to the opportunities presented. In terms of return structure, investors receive their initial investment back first upon an exit, following which DMG charges a performance fee on profits. DMG investee companies reflect the group’s ethos, displaying strong teams, a focus on ethical and sustainable practices, or disruptive potential in their respective industries.
