Investment Firm
Overview
Touchstone Innovations create, build and invest in pioneering technology companies and licensing opportunities developed from outstanding scientific research focusing on the ‘Golden Triangle’ of London, Cambridge and Oxford.
Their robust strategy and fully integrated business model, proven over many years, begins with original idea and extends through intellectual property (IP) protection, company formation, seed funding, incubation, scale-up and supportive investment.
This provides us with a unique insight into leveraging early-stage research and turning it into substantial, high-quality, well-managed and well-funded commercial businesses.
They help scientists and entrepreneurs to commercialise their idea by protecting and licensing intellectual property, leading the formation of new companies, recruiting high-calibre management teams and providing and supporting investment.
They provide continuity of funding from start-up to scale-up, with initial investments from seed stage onwards. They remain an active investor throughout the lifetime of their portfolio companies, with the majority of their investment each year going into businesses they have lived with and understood for some time. This strategy substantially de-risks investment scale-up in their portfolio companies.
Touchstone Innovations is at the forefront of UK early-stage technology investment. Alongside their co-investors they have leveraged over £1.5 billion to help drive high technology innovation in the UK.
