The UK is on its way to transitioning to a green energy ecosystem, and homeowners are increasingly a crucial part of this mission. To narrow the gap between willingness and actual adoption of decarbonisation technologies, startups and the private capital backing them can help drive the innovation, scale, and adoption necessary to close it.   Find out more about how startups and homeowners can accelerate the renewable revolution here: https://lnkd.in/d7EKtWd7

  On a 20-year outlook, private equity in North America has delivered annual returns of 15.2%, compared to 9.7% for the S&P500.  Investors have rarely had cause to regret putting their faith in private markets over the long term. But the past can never guarantee the future, so the question remains: will private markets continue to act as a bulwark of innovation and investor returns?   Andrew Noyons, Partner at Salica Investments unpacks why private market funds, now more affordable and accessible than ever, will continue to show evergreen importance – no matter what our economic future brings.   Read it here: https://lnkd.in/dUx7Eh_d   #privateequity #venturecapital #investing

This is a big one today…I’m absolutely delighted to announce that we’ve just raised £850k! 🎊 Massive thanks to Tom Bradley and Ted Mallett at Salica Investments for leading the round, and to Maria Barsuk from Tanzanite Capital and many amazing angels who also participated and believe in our mission. 🔙 The background I met my co-founder Mitchell Nick just over a year ago now, and we immediately clicked despite being almost 8,000 miles apart! (I’m in the UK, he’s in Bali). Given our backgrounds, we both wanted to use AI to support go-to-market teams in overcoming their most urgent problems, which really boiled down to: how do you stand out and engage prospects in this new world? 💯 The result? A platform to power AI-driven ABM for every marketing team. RevvedUp makes it 10x faster and cheaper to increase qualified pipeline with AI-driven ABM that scales to reach every prospect in your total addressable market. 📈 Early traction We quickly launched an early beta product back in Sept, and iterated like crazy to release our first commercial product in March. Since then we’ve built up an amazing customer base, with the kind of positive feedback that just fuels you to go further and faster. 🥇 3 key benefits have come back from those early adopters: > We can stop chasing only the 3% of buyers in-market and connect with our whole Total Addressable Market (TAM) > Overcoming the decline in outbound conversion rates and growing our brand at the same time > Saving 8-10 hours per FTE a week on manual research and copywriting 💰 Why raise now? With clear pull from the market, a very clear and hugely ambitious roadmap and nowhere near enough hours in the day to achieve everything we’re trying to for our clients, we decided external funding was the route for us. After bootstrapping for 12 months we feel it's time to pour some fuel on the fire and take everything to the next level. The pipeline crisis is real and urgent for everyone we speak to, so slow and steady just isn’t the right choice for these kinds of problems! 🌅 What’s next? We’ve really investing in 3 areas: the product, the team and content. This means you’ll see more impactful features shipped faster; world-class customer experiences; and a focus on creating valuable content and insights for marketing leaders who need to unlock new ways of generating qualified pipeline. 🙏 It takes a community... Thank you so much to the countless folks who've helped and supported us along the way (too many to mention by name)! And with your ongoing support + the injection of capital to help accelerate things further and faster...LFG! 🚀

The mid-to-late stage venture market in Europe represents one of the largest accumulations of invested capital without a properly functioning secondary market. The increasing maturity of primary venture capital markets and the appreciation that building valuable companies takes time and patience places a premium on the provision of secondary liquidity to enable capital flows to recirculate at all stages of the market. Below we outline how our Secondaries strategies play a key role in the growth market. https://lnkd.in/dYnNc2Di
