I look for startups with great teams, but also great products. The very best combine an 'eyes light up' moment that wows the customer with the delivery of enduring value over time.

Molten Ventures Growth Fund First Close

Molten Ventures announces the first close of our Growth Fund at £175 million, including a £75 million cornerstone commitment from the British Business Bank. 

“There is no shortage of exceptional founders or technology businesses in the UK and Europe; what they too often lack is sufficient growth capital to help them become global leaders. This Fund gives Molten greater firepower to back our highest-conviction companies at Series B and beyond, build meaningful ownership positions and channel capital into the next generation of growth.” -
