Raising pre-seed?
Get Started

VC is broken

We know how difficult VCs can be

Having partnered with 100+ founders, we've seen how VC processes are broken - and these companies know we're different:

Most investors are sheep

Group-think and bias often lead to the same people getting funded.

01
You're left in the dark

Not enough transparency for founders when raising money.

02
They waste your time

They're not built for pre-seed, but they'll still take a call

Don't take our word for it

VSim

Concept was the first investor we spoke to and has been instrumental in supporting us to this stage. From their support of customers to introducing our lead investor, we couldn’t ask for more.

Michelle Lu
Cliff

Concept led our pre-seed and supported us through ups, downs as well as a hard pivot and successful acquisition - through which they were especially influential. Concept was undoubtably the best pre-seed investor on our cap-table and will be our first call when starting our next venture ;)

Aayush Jain
Playter

Concept have helped with everything from client introductions, to connecting us with next-round investors. They're personable, relatable and respond to all WhatsApps within an hour. Any founder would be lucky to have them onside.

Concept was one of our earliest institutional backers. Olly, Reece and the team partnered with us when Piotr and I were just two founders with a bold vision for the future of audio. We are thankful for the continued support they’ve given us, from brainstorming at the Concept office in the early days through to helping us land a few of the early employees - as our only UK investors, we are excited to have them close by on the exciting journey ahead.
