Connecting world-class entrepreneurs to growth capital

https://ripponcapital.co.uk

Rippon Capital brings together the life experience of Paul Rippon and a hand-picked, world-class team of high performers he completely trusts.

Paul’s story starts with proud working-class roots in Nottingham and spans a career in banking, co-founding Barnacre Alpacas, Starling Bank, and Monzo. In recent years, he’s focused on investing in — and supporting — exceptional entrepreneurs.

Now, with over £1 billion in exciting pipeline projects, Rippon Capital exists to fund extraordinary companies that often fall between Venture Capital, Private Equity, and traditional lending. There’s a quiet revolution happening in how entrepreneurs access growth capital. Rippon Capital is at the heart of it.

The project’s beating heart — reflecting Paul’s own journey — is that we will dedicate a portion of everything we do to grassroots growth. This isn’t just about altruism; it’s about knowing how hard it can be to ask for help when starting out — whether you’re a car valet, gardener, or AI enthusiast.

We will also look to supports early-stage equity investments, in partnership with Founders Faculty.

We believe in trust, fairness, and opportunity — for every entrepreneur ready to build something brilliant.
