At GCP we are specialists in creating genuine investment partnerships with outstanding entrepreneurial growth companies. As the original UK partnership investor with over 24 years of experience, we have developed a highly referenceable track record of successful investments, demonstrable strategic growth support and industry network across the Technology and Services sectors. We invest between £10m and £50m of equity funding in businesses valued between £25m and £150m, in minority or majority transactions. Our partnership approach provides equity capital for growth, strategic support for accelerated scaling and liquidity for shareholders and is highly deliverable, often providing all the funding for a transaction. Our approach is to work alongside likeminded entrepreneurs and develop true investment partnerships in which we are fully aligned with the teams we back. We believe in trust, chemistry and alignment.
