Congratulations to Featurespace and IP Group - this is the perfect case study for the Mansion House reforms. £134m cash proceeds from £23m investment over 7 financing rounds and 12 years, delivering 5.8x return. A great team of scientific founders and experienced management with ambition and support from additional venture growth investors who joined as the company grew. Backing innovation and AI before it became fashionable. A quick tally suggests that over recent years, IP Group has realised around £350m of cash from Touchstone Innovations portfolio companies, including Garrison Technology, WaveOptics, Inivata and Enterprise Therapeutics. There should be much more to come from the likes of Artios, Crescendo Biologics, Pulmocide, Mission Therapeutics & Storm Therapeutics. IP Group deserve praise for supporting these businesses over the long term. Sure, it's been a learning curve, but the model is working. It takes patience. What we need now is the Mansion House reforms to build on this and turbo charge the UK ecosystem, encouraging even greater ambition and still longer holding periods.
💫 The acquisition of our portfolio company Featurespace is an exciting moment. On completion, we expect to receive a record £134m of cash, an excellent financial return, which demonstrates both the value and the impact opportunity of our portfolio. As is the case with most of our portfolio companies, it’s been a long journey. We first invested back in 2012, becoming Featurespace’s first institutional investor, and our technology partner Jon Edington has been on the board ever since. We’ve invested £22.9m over seven financing rounds during that time with Jon Edington leading on of all the IP Group investments into the company, and we are Featurespace’s largest shareholder. Congratulations again to the Featurespace team. To find out more about our 12-year-journey, read below. #VisionaryVentures

#Avantel's MD Discuss the Strategic Journey and Vision for the Future! 🚀 In a compelling speech given on the occasion of Avantel's listing on the National Stock Exchange (#NSE), Avantel's Managing Director Mr. Vidyasagar Abburi highlights the transformative role of technology in today's world. He delves into the three significant approaches that have defined Avantel's success: incremental innovation, constantly evolving and improving our technologies to stay ahead; critical technologies, delivering unique, customized solutions for the defense sector; and flexible and scalable architecture, ensuring our systems can adapt and grow with changing needs.

He emphasizes that an institution must continue to thrive beyond the presence of its founders, and this belief is deeply ingrained in Avantel's work culture.

What an incredible conversation between our Co-founder and CEO, Yotam Segev, and Ephraim Yarmak, host of Founder Storiez! In this interview, Yotam shares the journey of Cyera—from its early days in stealth mode to achieving a $3B valuation and growing from a team of 50 to over 400+ employees. 🌟 The discussion highlights key moments in Cyera’s story, including: - Yotam’s growth as a leader, building a culture of progress and developing other leaders within the company. - How we transitioned from founder-led sales to professional sales, a critical step in scaling successfully. - The profound impact of Doug Leone, one of our key board members, whose invaluable guidance has shaped Cyera’s journey. - The role of the Talpiot program, which has influenced our leadership and culture—Cyera proudly counts 13 Talpiot alumni among our team (from an elite group of only ~1,000 globally). Yotam also gets personal, sharing his thoughts on family, health, values, and how his upbringing has shaped his leadership philosophy. For anyone interested in leadership, scaling a company, or the art of building a transformative culture, this interview is packed with insights. I highly recommend watching it—you won’t want to miss Yotam’s vision for Cyera’s future and the lasting impact we’re working toward:
