Summary
We focus on B2B software, with a particular focus on machine learning, disruptive algorithms, cyber security, AdTech and FinTech, as well as embedded systems including robotics. Our initial investments are typically in the £1m to £4m range. Recent exits include trade sales to Google, Apple, Becton Dickinson, and Huawei. IQ Capital uniquely always invests alongside an experienced, sector-expert entrepreneur who has recently made a significant exit in the same sector and who now has the right skills, mind-set and motivation to support an early stage business. We are currently investing from its 2015 IQ Capital Fund II and actively looking for new investment opportunities.
