Here, the Fellowship identifies the value. The community invests. You invest in the Founders we trust and support.
You write meaningful cheques into early-stage companies. Picking the good ideas is half the work. The other half is avoiding the failure modes that don’t appear in the deck: founders running out of energy, lack of strategic market focus and fit, no access to the networks for capital and traction at the moment they’re needed.
By the time the round reaches you, three things have already happened.
The Fellowship identified the value. A Fellow, an operator who has built in the same field or an adjacent one, saw what most investors couldn’t see. They wrote the first cheque from their own capital and structured the round on terms they agreed with the founder.
The community invested. Angels followed the Fellow into the first round, Specialists matched to the founder’s work, the cohort stress-tested the assumptions, the model pre-empted the failure modes that kill most startups.
Your investment follows. Investor rounds typically come after the angel rounds. By the time you see the deal, the founder has been backed by people who saw the opportunity early and stayed with the work. You invest in the Founders we trust and support, alongside the people who got there first.
Investor members who run their own funds can apply for the fund to be listed as a Supporting Fund. Supporting Funds participate in community deal flow, and gain visibility and trust with Founders, Angels, and other investors across the network.
We ask annual membership (£10 for individuals, £300 for companies). Investors in the community get access to deal flow, peer relationships, and learnings that compound over time. We hold each other to standards of fairness and good conduct.
Investor members have invested across Supported Companies since 2024. Fellows have led every one of those investments on terms agreed with the founder. You can talk to any current Investor member about their experience; we’ll connect you.

We don’t make founders look investable. We make them investable.
