Approach

WE DON’T JUST PICK WINNERS.
WE HELP CREATE THEM.

We invest early and wholeheartedly. We lead and we are never passive.

Early stage deep tech and hard science businesses often need more than just capital. At times, they may need support and guidance on commercial negotiations, strategic finance, fundraising, IP strategy, recruiting and retaining staff, marketing, formulating route to market plans and so on. We endeavour to provide our founders and start-ups with a full tool-kit to maximise their chances of navigating the tricky early stages of business.

 

We specialise in getting companies from the lab bench to commercial reality as quickly as possible. This often lines up with investing at the seed stages and then doing everything we can to help companies land their transformative Series A raise and achieve their first commercial proof point.

GO EARLY & GO HARD

We invest at the early stages, where we believe the risk/reward ratio is most compelling.
We lead rounds, roll up our sleeves and run towards problems.

GO EARLY & GO HARD

Testimonials

“The TSP team have always been on hand to give advice and opinion as our business has grown…their advice has always been objective, invaluable and reassuring.”

Simon Morris, Co-Founder of HiiROC

“TSP Ventures led our seed round. They were the investors who asked the best questions and really put effort into understanding the fundamentals of our technology. Along with building a good personal relationship with Chris & Mike, they have both helped us navigate the many challenges of scaling a start-up, providing a useful sounding board for us to bounce new ideas off. Particularly in rolling up their sleeves to help get us ready for our next funding round. Chris has also sat on our company Board where he has positively contributed to our strategy and has provided unbiased, frank and helpful guidance. We would certainly endorse TSP Ventures as a lead investor to other early-stage companies.”

FRED WHITE, CCO OF DESCYCLE

“Since co-leading our last investment round, TSP have provided really valuable support and insight at the Board level and beyond. Chris and Mike have always been ready and willing to give their advice freely and openly and their knowledge, connections and expertise around fundraising has been a big help when raising our Series A.”

James Stephenson, CEO of Promethean Particles

“Working with TSP has been a pleasure. Mike and Chris have brought a lot of operational experience and genuine passion about environmental technology…TSP is the right team to have in our corner.”

Kostas Karachalios, CEO of Perceptual Robotics

“From the moment we met TSP Ventures we knew we’d found the investors we wanted onboard. Their approach from day one was different. We were challenged, but also guided….we’ve continued to benefit from their coaching, market awareness and constructive feedback.”

Martyn Lathbury, CEO of Wastewater Fuels
