Venture Capital & Private Equity - London, England, United Kingdom
Arcturus Ventures is a new kind of investment firm. Start-ups and scale-ups are in desperate need of experienced advice, guidance and coaching from other entrepreneurs who have been on the journey and understand what is necessary to build a successful business. This guidance is needed right at the beginning to help founders develop their ideas, validate hypotheses, get traction, get funded and grow. At such an embryonic stage however, entrepreneurs struggle to justify the investment in the kind of coaching and advisory services due cash constraints and they may not yet be 'investment ready' in the eyes of traditional VC funds. Founded on this insight, Arcturus Ventures offers advisory services to European and US based start-ups and scale-ups in exchange for equity compensation. In short, founders can get the world-class coaching and advice they need, with no up-front cash costs.Arcturus Ventures also has the facility to deploy capital to seed and pre-seed stage ventures where there are strong market hypotheses and an immediate need for cash injection.
