About
The Alliance is a members community of leading UK investors which offers regional founders a single point of access for capital when scaling their business.
Our role is to work closely with founders across the UK (outside London), support their growth strategies and investment readiness, and create deal-flow opportunities on behalf of Alliance members, which include some of the leading funds and family offices in the UK (multi-billions in combined AUM).
Funding (equity and debt) from £1m-£50m. Largely sector agnostic but ventures need to be achieving annual revenues of +£1.5m with a clear ability to scale.
Mission
Support, Scale and Supercharge regional businesses to create balance and prosperity across UK Venture Capital.
Some of the greatest current UK success stories are outside of London, but this isn’t reflected in early stage capital support. The Alliance aims to discover and engage with founders and businesses across the UK that can help rewrite the map when it comes to VC backed pioneering and transformative UK ventures.
The opportunity, talent and infrastructure for growth exists outside London; greater access to capital is the final piece of the jigsaw.
