Fourth Ventures

Now is the time to invest in private companies

We are at the beginning of the Fourth industrial revolution which is enabling companies to grow and scale at a pace not seen before as they take advantage of new technologies, materials, and business models. The increasing level of innovation means there is a constant shortage of capital which represents a significant opportunity for individuals, family offices, and venture capital firms, to directly participate in this explosive growth.

How we help company founders & CEO's

Fourth Ventures has access to over 3,000 global investors and has been working with private companies across all stages (seed to £1bn+) for over 20 years. Our aim today is to help the founders of the most promising early-stage start-up and scale-up companies find high-quality investors in the most effective way possible. We aim to attract the best investors possible, including those that can add value as well as capital, to maximise the company's chance of success and enable it to fulfil its full potential.

Fourth Ventures also looks to become a long-term partner with the companies it works with, by investing alongside their network, and being available to help on any follow-on funding rounds.

Opportunity for private company investors

Fourth Ventures are building a global network of entrepreneurs, senior business executives, family offices, venture capital firms, and private equity firms, that are seeking to invest in the next generation of businesses.

Investors joining the Fourth Ventures network gain access to investment opportunities in high-potential start-ups and scale-ups that are carefully chosen based on the strength of the team, traction, market opportunity, and potential returns. If interested, investors gain direct access to the CEO's/Founders so they can learn more about the company and funding round before making an investment decision.
