The Octopus Ventures EIS Services allows investors to invest in a portfolio of 10-15 early-stage businesses with high-growth potential. Each of these target a tenfold growth on the initial investment.
They back founders who strive to change the world for the better. The Octopus team focuses on seven areas; B2B Software, Bio, Climate, Consumer, Deep Tech, Fintech, and Health.
Octopus Ventures have previously backed some of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs, investing early in the likes of Zoopla Property Group, Secret Escapes, Tails.com and graze.com.
According to Octopus, the three stages to achieving capital growth from investments in early-stage businesses are access to investment opportunities that have the potential to achieve high growth, effective nurturing and support of a business as it matures, and the ability to manage a successful exit.
They attract some of the top entrepreneurs, who most often choose to partner with specialists in their sector. Equally, they often find the best opportunities more efficiently in each area, owing to the strong relationships that the investment teams have built in their individual networks.
Since 2008, Octopus Ventures has backed 180+ teams in 7 core investment areas. They have also successfully exited 32 companies.
