Service providers
In the early stages of growth it is essential that companies have the right infrastructure in place. Start-ups are usually cash and resource constrained in the early stages of a development. For these reasons, we have established and maintained strong relationships with:
- Panels of lawyers,
- Patent attorneys,
- Tax and financial advisors
These companies have previous experience of working with high technology start-ups. Our portfolio companies can chose and benefit from their preferential commercial terms and fee rates.
