Description

EMV Capital is a London-based venture capital firm deeply embedded within the NetScientific Group, serving as its investment manager for direct investments and managing its Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) funds. The firm focuses on early-stage, high-growth deep technology companies across critical sectors including life science, sustainability, and industrials. Their investment thesis centers on identifying businesses with robust intellectual property, substantial market potential, and seasoned management teams capable of executing on their vision.

EMV Capital typically provides initial funding ranging from £500,000 to £5 million, which translates to approximately $635,000 to $6.35 million based on recent exchange rates. Beyond capital, the firm adopts a hands-on approach, offering strategic and operational support to its portfolio companies to accelerate their development and market penetration. They actively work to syndicate deals, bringing in strategic corporate and institutional co-investors to facilitate larger funding rounds and provide additional value to their ventures.

Their affiliation with NetScientific provides a strong ecosystem for portfolio companies, often leading to follow-on funding opportunities and access to a broader network. For instance, companies within the NetScientific portfolio, which EMV Capital helps manage, collectively raised over £20 million in 2023, underscoring the group's active role in capital formation for deep tech innovation. EMV Capital's strategy is designed to not only provide initial growth capital but also to foster long-term success through active engagement and strategic partnerships, aiming to commercialize disruptive technologies with significant societal and economic impact.
