At Blackfinch Ventures we invest in innovation, with a technology mandate. We support exciting young and growing tech firms with great ideas, who can deliver long-term value.

The Blackfinch Ventures team was found in 2018 and since then we have expanded our offering to clients. Investors can choose to invest in either our generalist or thematic EIS portfolios or, invest in the Blackfinch Spring VCT.

Our generalist portfolio, the Blackfinch Ventures EIS Portfolios has a focus on disruptive technology businesses offering products that address real world needs, while our thematic EIS portfolio has a focus on investing in climate technology companies supporting the decarbonisation of the UK economy.

The Blackfinch Spring VCT sits alongside our generalist portfolio in terms of investment focus, however, invests in young firms at the growth stage of their development, rather than the early-stage.
