Our Values

Entrepreneurship is an integral part of the Singh family ethos.

That lived experience shapes everything about how we invest and how we support the founders we back. We know what it feels like to back yourself, to navigate the hard moments, and to build something from nothing. We do not give advice from a distance. We give it as people who have stood where you are standing.

Exceptional Founders

We back people before we back businesses. The founders we invest in have deep knowledge of their category, a clear point of view, and the resilience to build through the hard parts. A founder with genuine lived experience will outperform a polished operator without it. Every time.

Products that Matter

We back brands built around products with a genuine reason to exist. A defensible point of difference, made with the craft and quality that earns word-of-mouth. If early growth is coming from the product rather than paid media, that is the signal we are looking for.

Category Momentum

We back founders riding a genuine tailwind. Investing ahead of the mainstream in categories being disrupted, where the next generation of significant brands will emerge. We want to be in early, when the space is still being defined, not after the consensus has already formed.

Scale Potential

We invest in businesses with a credible path from early traction to something meaningfully larger. Brands that can grow beyond their first channel, attract institutional capital, and ultimately deliver an exit that rewards both founders and early investors.

What We Look For

Consumer First

Our mandate sits within B2C and consumer-adjacent categories including apparel, food and drink, wellness, personal care, homeware, pet care, and hospitality.

Founders with Genuine Edge

Deep category expertise, a compelling personal story, or a track record of building — ideally all three.

The founders who perform best are the ones who could not find what they needed on the shelf and were viscerally frustrated by that gap. Spotted-a-category-opportunity founders rarely build the same kind of brand.

Proven Traction

We prefer businesses with meaningful revenue and clear growth momentum. If you are pre-revenue, we are likely not the right partner yet — but we would be glad to have you on our radar for when you are ready.

Seed Stage

We invest in rounds of £500k–£3m. We can lead or co-lead at Seed, and occasionally at Pre-Seed or Series A when the conviction is strong. Our cheques are typically £250k–£1m.

A Clear Route to Profitability

We are not looking for businesses that burn capital indefinitely. We want to see a credible path to sustainable unit economics and, ultimately, a meaningful exit. If your model requires paid acquisition to work at seed stage, that is a structural problem that rarely resolves itself later. The brands we back find their first customers through the product, not the ad budget.
