For a real life ‘Dragon’s Den’ business
We are actively seeking entrepreneurial students/graduates who have:
• Already started a business and are now looking for funding and mentoring.
• A great idea but need funding and wider business support to kick-start their idea.
• Not yet had their own ‘eureka’ moment but would be great people to work with our high growth, early stage startups.
Significant funds
We have more than £20 million available to invest in exciting, high growth, early stage businesses across the UK. Horatio has a long-term commitment to the companies in which we invest – we are looking for growth but that doesn’t have to mean quick exits.
We recognise that young businesses don’t always need large amounts of cash straight away, therefore funding can initially be for small amounts just to kick start the business.
The money we invest is personal and provides us with a stake in the future success of your business, aligning our interests.
Pedigree
The team of entrepreneurs at Horatio has a great track record in business (including someone who set up their own very successful business prior to University) and is determined to use that experience to benefit new businesses.
We will provide great quality mentoring support and business advice and enable access to our own network of successful businesses and individuals.
Commitment
We are absolutely serious about our commitment to investing in early stage businesses. In the short period since we were established, we have built a portfolio of 13 businesses, ranging from a software company in Cardiff to a national juice business based in London which is already the fastest growing business in its sector.
Most recently we have made offers of investment, coaching and support to two businesses founded whilst the owners were at University.
Infrastructure
We have modern premises in Glastonbury with ample room to host a number of new businesses. These premises are able to provide a great working environment with access to high speed broadband, office facilities and quality mentoring. All of which is available at no cost to our new business partner companies.
