    2020 - Current

    I am part of Octopus' Consumer Pod, and am particularly interested in category-defining innovations around the way we live, work, travel, play and recuperate! Octopus Ventures invests in pioneers creating the next £billion companies. Together we run one of Europe's largest venture funds with £1.2 billion under management and are fortunate enough to have worked with the founding teams of some fantastic companies including Zoopla, Elvie, graze.com, Secret Escapes, Sofar Sounds, Cazoo, Depop, tails.com among many others. We're based in London and New York with partners placed in San Francisco and China to help the companies we back scale in those markets. Our typical investment starts from £1 million for Seed to around £10 million for Series B and we can follow our investment right up to £25 million. https://www.octopusventures.com/
