Growth Capital Ventures

What they do

Growth Capital Ventures (GCV) is a UK-based investment firm comprising of two business units: GCV Invest and GCV Labs. GCV Invest is a Private Investor Network that provides members with access to compelling tax-efficient investment opportunities and property transactions, enabling our network of experienced investors to build a diversified investment portfolio and access high-growth opportunities. GCV Labs is a Venture Builder that creates, launches and scales innovative, technology-enabled startup companies. Providing full-stack software development, back-office support and business strategy guidance, our specialist team supports the full growth journey of transformational businesses, from idea-stage to exit. Since being founded, GCV has developed a carefully-curated portfolio of 15 startup companies spanning multiple sectors, including fintech, banking and media tech. The likes of Intelligence Fusion, a threat intelligence Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company, achieved a successful return for investors in 2022 after being acquired by a US-based risk services platform. With a network of over 700 investors, having co-invested over £100m and, as a result, created more than 600 jobs across our portfolio companies, GCV is focused on generating superior investment returns for our investor network whilst creating a positive social, environmental and economic impact.
