IQ Capital Partners
We invest in exceptional seed, early stage and developing high-tech
businesses, as well as fast growing companies in non-tech sectors.
For the first round, we always partner with expert angel investors
(or ‘IQ Angels’) who commit their exceptional experience,
time and money to the investee companies alongside the Fund.
Typically the Fund invests between £0.25 million to £1.5
million in the first round of investment and follow on funding can
bring the total invested to £2.5 million in total.
The Fund works in partnership with three of the UK’s leading
business angel networks: GEIF, OION
and SWAIN.
IQ Capital also has an associate relationship with Cambridge Angels.
