Description

The fund sought to invest in almost all industrial sectors with a focus on information, communications, technology, software, medical technology, renewable energy systems, digital instrumentation, and chemical and pharmaceutical innovation, but did not consider investments in agriculture and fisheries sectors or to rescue failing businesses. It invested in the Yorkshire and Humber region, typically investing between £0.05 million ($0.07 million) and £0.399 million ($0.59 million), with the first stage of financing ranging from £0.01 million ($0.02 million) to £0.10 million ($0.20 million), and follow-on investments up to £0.20 million ($0.40 million) per company. The fund invested in funding rounds between £0.02 million ($0.04 million) and £0.25 million ($0.50 million) in the form of equity or loan finance, and sought to appoint a Non-Executive Director on the Board of the portfolio.
