New Wave Ventures

About The Fund

New Wave Ventures is a private equity firm based in London, specializing in investments across a diverse range of sectors including Software, Information Technology, Biotech, Hardware, Retail, Material Science, Medical Devices, and Investment Management. With a focus on Seed, Startup, and Early Stage companies, they stress the importance of investing in people and their ability to foster growth and dominate global markets. The firm's proficiency in both debt and equity financing showcases its flexible approach to investments, exhibiting a willingness to provide capital through both equity and standby loans without leveraging external investors or borrowings that may impede financial autonomy. Operating since 2010 from their headquarters at Adam House, New Wave Ventures maintains a clear investment philosophy underscoring the human element in business success. They prefer to invest in owner-managed companies where they can have a significant impact without unnecessary interference, aligning broad strategic goals and operating plans with competent leaders. Their target initial investment range is £500,000 to £2,000,000. On their website, they elaborate that they do not use leverage to enhance returns, and they are open to co-investing with similar-minded investors. However, their preference lies in being the sole investor. They believe in the power of MIRACLES, an acronym reflecting the characteristics they seek in a business, indicating their desire for businesses that demonstrate ideas, expertise, and the capability to overcome obstacles. The team at New Wave Ventures brings extensive experience in running successful businesses and applies this practical knowledge to challenge assumptions, anticipate problems, and help navigate challenges, with the overriding aim of adding value to the companies they invest in.
