How to reach them

• Otherwise write to the general inbox, or to the First Cheque inbox if you are at the earliest stage. Opportunities are reviewed on a rolling basis.
• Come with a clear case for your business.

What to expect

• The firm says no decision happens overnight and that it typically agrees terms within 2 to 4 weeks.
• It says it keeps follow-on capital for companies it backs.
