Investment Objective

Providing u2018scale-upu2019 capital to accelerate the commercialisation of the best performing UK-based businesses in the field of robotics, automation, AI and driverless vehicles.

Robotics & AI are u2018generalist technologiesu2019 that deliver transformative value-generation across almost all sectors of the economy (just as previous generalist technologies such as steam, electricity or and the Internet have done in the past.) The fund seeks to give investors access to this important investment theme.

Exit Strategy

Due to the early-stage nature of the Fundu2019s investments, a clear exit strategy has to be implemented. There will be a premium on automation over the forthcoming five years in Western economies as the population ages and economic immigration becomes more restricted. Consequently we have seen an acceleration of M&A activity for the best performing robotics and AI businesses, leading to potential for extremely attractive portfolio returns.

The exit strategy of the fund is to realise individual investments following the EIS 3-year holding period either via a secondary share sale (to another fund), or trade sale, or IPO. In practice this period could be longer, and since the Fund has an anticipated life of five years Investors may be unable to achieve a return on investments made for their account before that time.

Exit History

The Scale-Up Fund is new so there have not been any exits yet. However the fundu2019s investment team does have a track record of delivering substantial exits for investors.
