Investments
We combine investment with non-financial support to help companies turn their innovative ideas into commercial successes. We encourage other investors to generate a commercial return by replicating our investment models.
Overview
We invest in two ways:
NESTA Ventures
Direct investment in companies
NESTA Capital
Indirect investment through third-party funds.
Increasingly we are finding that business support is essential to help early-stage companies face the challenges involved in growing their business. That's why non-financial support is a fundamental part of our investment model.
