Presentation summaries

Each manager will deliver a presentation about their approach to EIS investing followed by a live Q&A. The event will start with an introduction to EIS/SEIS and an update on current themes by Dr Brian Moretta.

Blackfinch Ventures Tim Wynn-Jones will introduce the manager’s generalist EIS Portfolios, with the core strategy to invest in innovation with purpose. The manager’s focus is on early-stage technology businesses across the UK; firms with strong teams, scalable ideas and the ambition to shape the future. These firms often make use of a wide range of generalist technologies such as software-as-a-service. They may also be businesses in the global growth markets of deeptech, fintech and the energy transition.

Haatch Ventures Olivia Drinnan will provide an update on Haatch’s progress, including recent profitable exits, an overview of the investment strategy, current portfolio construction and key features of the Haatch SEIS Fund and the Haatch EIS Fund. Haatch Ventures is a modern, operator-led venture capital manager backed by the government-owned British Business Bank, deploying capital at pace into high-conviction early-stage companies.

OnePlanetCapital Declan McEvilly will explain how the OnePlanetCapital Climate Change EIS Fund allows investors to invest into a diversified portfolio of EIS eligible companies that have developed technology and processes that will mitigate emissions when scaled. The sector is underpinned by very powerful market dynamics. The team at OneplanetCapital believes that it is possible to have high levels of positive environmental impact whilst simultaneously achieving high levels of growth.

Oxford Technology Management Dr Andrea Mica will cover how early-stage science and technology investments can make large returns, how changes in tax may change how investments are made and how Oxford Technology Management’s funds are set up to make the most of the opportunities that are out there.
