Investment

We commit capital against an agreed plan, with clear milestones and responsibilities.

What it is

Investment follows evidence. Capital is released against the needs of the business and the quality of the opportunity, not a fixed venture timetable. Every allocation has an owner, purpose and review point.

What happens at this stage

01Set the capital plan and funding sequence

02Agree milestones and decision rights

03Match investment to the company's stage

04Review each allocation against other uses of capital

Stage outcome

A funded operating plan with clear controls and review dates.
