Firestartr backs the globally ambitious entrepreneurs who are seizing today’s lower "cost to experiment" and Internet-based go-to-market strategies to craft game-changing Internet and software businesses. Beyond providing seed-stage capital, we draw on our entrepreneurial successes and senior operational experience with leading technology companies to support sustainable growth in our portfolio. Our domain expertise and deep network of advisors enable us to propel companies to Series A and beyond.

Firestartr operates as a venture platform that syndicates investments with a curated network of domain experts. Our flexible pledge structure benefits both entrepreneurs (one line on the cap table) and investors (greater deal choice, tax advantages such as EIS, no lock in).

"Firestartr adds 'smart' to money. They are able to help in all the key areas of early stage business building."
