£7 million invested
Valuable contribution to start up funding



Darren Gowling-Investment Director, Liverpool Seed Fund

2006 was a strong year for investments by the Liverpool Seed Fund and saw 20 new companies added to the existing portfolio.

To date, the Fund has invested £7m into 33 businesses, with an additional £1m committed to those businesses as further tranches. This is a significant rate of investment, especially as the businesses are in the high risk area of new technology and fast growing markets.

Darren Gowling, Investment Director, said: “Liverpool Seed Fund will continue investing in early stage, knowledge based businesses in Merseyside. So far we have invested across a range of technology sectors and we are interested in applications from knowledge based, IP rich companies and propositions targeting high growth, global markets with excellent commercial potential.

The Fund is making a valuable contribution to start up funding in the North West and filling a high demand for equity funding.”
