Top Apps Investors & Funds (United Kingdom)
Nova Growth Capital
Nova Growth Capital is an award-winning fund that invests in disruptive SEIS & EIS companies. Allowing investors to take advantage of a growth-focused and diversified investment portfolio. Its deal flow comes exclusively from its Cofoundery Nova, a venture builder that has seen 36.5% growth in its portfolio year on year for 12 years. Nova employs 100+ startup experts to actively source and grow their portfolio of tech enabled, disruptive SEIS & EIS companies. The fund is an opportunity to invest alongside Nova Cofoundery Limited (“Nova”) in their portfolio of early-stage companies. The Fund, therefore, seeks to benefit from co-investing with experienced partners. Investment Strategy: The Nova Growth Capital fund invests in ideas stage and early stage startups, without any capital investment from the founder. Nova’s programme will take the founder from an initial idea to discovering its market and building the product. Nova mentors, explores, validates & scales founders and their ideas. The Fund seeks to offer investors a diversified exposure of a minimum of ten investee companies each of which is engaged in solving industry problems with the use of a digital solution. It is envisaged that each subscription will be deployed across each investee company on a diversified basis, at the discretion of Nova Growth Capital Limited and Sapphire Capital Partners. Nova seeks to leverage appropriate technology to source and mentor potential founders. This gives Nova the capability to perform real “in-person” due diligence on their entrepreneurs before it co-invests, it allows Nova to understand and model the performance funnel and gives Nova control of deal flow. Nova typically sees over 25 opportunities per investment that are made. SEIS & EIS tax incentive: The companies the fund invest in are expected to be SEIS-EIS-qualifying, which makes Nova Cofoundery SEIS & EIS Fund SEIS-EIS suitable for qualifying clients who would potentially benefit from the following tax reliefs: – Up to 30% income tax relief (50% for SEIS) – Tax-free investment growth – Capital gains deferral (or 50% capital gains tax exemption for SEIS) – Inheritance tax relief – Loss relief We are proud that in the 12 years we have been building ventures through the Nova Cofoundery, we have invested in everything we have co-founded. Now private investors are able to invest alongside the Nova Group through our SEIS and EIS fund.
