Seven Spires Investments Ltd. (SSIL) is a private, off-shore investment company. It was established in 2003 and since then has invested significant amounts in UK, early-stage, technology companies. The fund is not currently looking to invest in new companies although it will continue to support its current portfolio of investments. Seven SpiresInvestments Limited is a technology sector investment vehicle established in 2003. It has an annual budget of circa £5m for investment and re-investment in the portfolio; however this total can be stretched when necessary.They seek to invest in technology-based, private companies based in the United Kingdom. They like to see strong intellectual property in their investee companies. Particularly in the case of early-stage companies, this will often be in the form of patents, however defensible ‘knowhow’ is equally valued. They like to work with world-class scientists, engineers and technologists. In the case of later-stage companies, proven revenue streams can to some extent offset their requirement for strong IP. They are looking for companies that can address global markets and which are expected to scale to a valuation in excess of $100m.They have no minimum level of investment and can routinely invest up to £1m p.a. into any single company. They are prepared to invest at any stage in the development of a company, up to and including the last round preceeding an IPO or trade sale. They usually co-invest with others, sometimes acting as lead investor and sometimes alongside another VC lead. Occasionally they will invest alone in a particularly interesting company.
