New Wave Ventures

New Wave Ventures is a privately owned venture capital and private equity investment firm based in London, specializing in early-stage companies and start-ups with significant growth potential. Founded in 2010, the firm targets initial investments ranging from £500,000 to £2,000,000, utilizing its own capital without reliance on external investors or borrowings. New Wave Ventures emphasizes long-term investments and is not constrained by the need to meet interest obligations or to exit investments by set deadlines. They do not employ leverage to enhance returns and prefer to invest independently alongside owner-managers, although they are open to co-investing with like-minded partners. The firm avoids diversification strategies and does not invest in niche sectors that cannot achieve an early profit target of at least £1 million. Board representation is a requirement for their investments.
