True Global Innovation
Vision, Execution, Capital
At Izy Capital, we encourage our portfolio companies to think big. Constrained only by the boundaries of effective execution, people who think big can deliver big. Small thinkers will miss small. Big thinkers have a chance, but will need guidance, support and capital. That’s what we do. As Founders ourselves we recognise that it takes a lot more than a blueprint to succeed. Unshakeable self-belief moderated by the ability to listen, execute and respond to changes in the market dynamics are at least as important as total addressable market or technological advantage. Why? Because competitive advantage can get diversified away. Economics 101. We expect vision. In return, we provide an ecosystem to ensure best practice execution and funding.
Venture Capital
Izy can provide Seed Capital through direct investment up to £150,000. We typically tend to bring about 10 portfolio companies in during the year. In order to be considered we ask that all companies follow the application process on the site. We will shortly not be considering any direct mail applications. With our syndicate partners we then have the ability to fund up to £10m in follow on growth equity capital and up to £50m through debt and equity capital structures.
Corporate Finance & Advisory
The Izy team has advised on over $10bn of transactions in the public and private markets over the past 25 years. Growth capital, refinancing, M&A, we can advise on all aspects of the process and options. Our goal is always value maximisation through optimal capital structuring and strategic positioning.
Digital Transformation
At the heart of Digital Transformation is mindset. Everything is a product. If people are going to buy your product then it needs to fit their needs. Deepening analytical insight including the use of AI and Machine Learning to personalise and predict customer behaviour allied with a rich and seamless UX lies at the heart of our digital transformation strategy.
Drone Evolution
Izy advised Drone Evolution on a recent equity seed round from a syndicate of strategic angel investors. The management team has a proven track record in the industry, having formally run the Drone division for a major facilities management team.
