Empowering entrepreneurial
visionaries
From our vast deal flow, we source, invest in and mentor the founders we select who, as profound experts in their field, demonstrate high potential. Such entrepreneurs are ambitious, committed and almost obsessively pursue their vision. They strive to make a material impact on the world around them and, in turn, seek to solve societal issues and address future needs.
Founders defined
e / Energy
We source and attract founders who are dynamic and inherently innovative. Typically disrupters in their field, unhappy with the status quo, they seek to drive positive change throughout wider society.
We collaborate with entrepreneurs who bring passion and relentless drive and are equipped with the vigour required to develop an exceptional idea into an impactful and successful company.
k / Expertise
Extraordinary ideas may initially grab our attention, but we choose to work with founders who not only bring unique concepts but also profound domain expertise and industry insight. Through nurturing entrepreneurs whose ideas are underpinned by deep knowledge and proficiency, we have created a portfolio of companies optimised for delivering value to investors over a targeted timeframe.
p / Perseverance
The road to success is seldom smooth. Transforming an idea from a fledgling start-up into a high-performing operation requires ambition and perseverance from all involved – but especially its leaders. We work with founders devoted to the tireless pursuit of their goals.
Who we invest in
At Jenson Ventures, we seek out innovative start-ups that leverage disruptive technologies, backed by strong management teams with the drive to scale. Our focus is on empowering founders through SEIS and EIS funding, helping them reach critical commercial milestones and achieve long-term success.
Teams we invest in
We typically back founding teams with at least two members who possess deep sector expertise and a clear vision for their business. We look for founders who are open to collaboration and mentorship, ensuring they are well-equipped for the journey ahead.
Stages and sectors we invest in
Our investments span from early-stage start-ups to those pursuing follow-on funding. Through SEIS, we support companies with a minimum viable product (MVP) and pre-sales or early-sales traction. We invest across multiple sectors, with a particular interest in technologies poised to transform industries and unlock substantial commercial opportunities.
The innovation we invest in
We back companies with a compelling unique selling proposition (USP), defensible intellectual property (IP), and the potential to create significant impact—both within their sector and on a broader scale.

Our investment process
Founders can expect a meticulous investment process including deal sourcing, thorough due diligence, deal structuring, and ongoing support. We ensure every investment aligns with our mission and values.
Initial screening
Entrepreneurs begin by submitting their initial applications, which are screened to identify potential opportunities. We look for ground breaking ideas with strong commercial prospects. Following this stage there will be an initial meeting for those that are successful, with subsequent meetings and discussion to prepare for Review Panel.
Review panel & term sheet
During the review panel you will have the opportunity to pitch your business to our panel…..following a successful pitch a term sheet will be agreed upon before the final stages of the process commence.
Due diligence & investment committee
We carry out thorough Due Diligence on all companies that pass review panel and agree terms. In the due diligence phase, our team conducts comprehensive evaluations of the business model, management team, market potential, and financial viability to ensure a sound investment. You then have the opportunity to pitch to our Investment Committee that will have final sign off on the investment.
Post investment support
Our support extends beyond initial investment. Jenson Ventures offers strategic guidance, access to an extensive network, and follow-on funding to help businesses scale and succeed in competitive markets.
Strategic support
Upon investment, founders receive ongoing strategic support with monthly check-in calls with a senior member of the Jenson team. These calls give you the chance to update us on progress, discuss ideas, concepts and issues you may be facing. This also provides an opportunity for us to understand progress and determine where we can offer help and make introductions to our network of advisors, and potential follow-on funding to facilitate growth and success.
Network and community
Our founders join a community of like-minded entrepreneurs, benefitting from shared experiences, advice, and support. We host events and offer platforms for collaboration and growth.
