Fuelling the Ascent of Tomorrow's Innovators.
Welcome to Stratosphere Ventures, a venture capital fund built by founders, for founders. We are successful operators and entrepreneurs, now dedicated to identifying and nurturing the visionary tech leaders building the next generation of transformative companies. We partner with ambitious founders from Seed to Series A, providing not just capital, but the deep operational expertise, strategic guidance and invaluable networks essential to navigate growth and achieve market leadership. At Stratosphere Ventures, we understand the journey because we've lived it. Our mission is to empower yours.
Our Mission
Our mission at Stratosphere Ventures is to be the premier early-stage investment partner for ambitious founders daring to challenge the status quo within the UK and European technology landscape. We aim to cultivate a portfolio of groundbreaking companies in B2B SaaS, AI and PropTech that are not only financially successful but also contribute positively to the world. We achieve this by fostering a culture of true partnership, integrity and a deep commitment to the long-term success of the entrepreneurs we back. We seek to elevate innovation, propel growth and help build a future where technology solves meaningful problems, driven by those who understand its power best, fellow founders.
More Than Capital - A Partnership Forged in Experience
What sets Stratosphere Ventures apart? We are not traditional VCs; we are seasoned founders and operators. This distinction is fundamental.
Founder-Operator Expertise
Our team brings decades of hands-on experience building and scaling successful technology businesses from the ground up. We've faced the same challenges, celebrated similar victories and understand the nuances of the entrepreneurial path. We offer practical, actionable advice, not just theoretical textbook frameworks.
Active, Hands-On Support
We don't just turn up for board meetings. We roll up our sleeves and as you require, we work alongside you, offering bespoke support in areas like product strategy, go-to-market execution, talent acquisition and operational scaling. It's tailored to your specific needs; we are part of YOUR team.
Invaluable Networks
Leverage our extensive, curated networks of industry leaders, potential customers, strategic partners and follow-on investors across the UK, Europe and beyond.
