Conviction over volume

Private early-stage investment
Early capital. Deep conviction. Alpha that lasts.

Investment approach
Capital is most useful when paired with clarity.
Lasting Alpha invests in early-stage technology businesses through UK investment entities, with a UK-first approach and selective exposure to exceptional European-founded companies. EIS and SEIS eligibility may be relevant but is not an investment requirement.
Built for difficult problems
We are drawn to ambitious businesses operating where technology can improve consequential systems and real-world outcomes.
Operator-minded support
Founders can draw on practical thinking around strategy, go-to-market, organisation, partnerships and international scale.
