What makes us different
At Eden we address the funding gap between business angels and later-stage venture capitalists, providing investment appropriate for the needs of an investee company and its stage of development.
Investment strategy
We will invest as little as £250,000 to back an innovative idea, up to around £1.25 million for a team not yet ready for a traditional Series A investment, through to as much as £3.5 million for a team with early revenues requiring expansion capital. Critically, we will support our successful portfolio companies with additional funding as they develop over time.
What we offer
As a team of successful entrepreneurs and experienced business managers we apply our collective operational expertise to assist the development of our portfolio companies in every area.
We offer help with:
- formulating product development strategies

- developing sales and marketing strategies
- making introductions to key customers and partners
- establishing financial and budgeting processes
- developing and strengthening management teams

We are proud of the people we have backed so far, of their loyalty and of the financial returns generated. Follow this link to read more about our portfolio.
