What is Growth Capital Ventures?

Growth Capital Ventures (GCV), founded in 2015, is a financial services business specializing in technology-led online investment and capital introduction platforms. Their platforms are crafted to facilitate connections between investors with capital and organizations or projects seeking funding.

They aim to offer straightforward and streamlined investment solutions, targeting mainly alternative investments within the UK. GCV provides co-investment opportunities spanning venture capital, private equity, and real estate to a network of private and institutional investors. They focus on identifying and accelerating growth in companies that have the potential for substantial returns and positive community impact.

GCV operates by supporting co-investment into startups using innovative technology to disrupt industries, seasoned operational firms poised for rapid EBITDA growth, and property developments addressing the UK's housing undersupply. Furthermore, their venture builder arm aids in the establishment of technology-enabled startups, contributing more than just financial backing but also imparting know-how and resources to enable rapid scaling. Through this approach, GCV has built a diverse portfolio that includes sectors such as Fintech, Banking, Software, and Property.

The firm offers tax-efficient investment opportunities, making use of schemes like the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS).

GCV upholds a commitment to back the next generation of British businesses that can create value and deliver impact. They have backed a number of companies and projects since their inception and facilitate the co-investment alongside institutional investors.
