Backing AI since 2017

While most VCs were still focused on traditional SaaS, we recognised AI's potential and began investing in 2017 – years before generative AI captured mainstream attention. This early conviction has given us deep ecosystem relationships, technical DD capabilities, and the ability to distinguish genuine AI innovation from hype. Our head start means we see the best opportunities first, often investing 6-12 months before companies appear on other's radars.

Investing in the Future

Our portfolio ranges from sectors like security, engineering, and robotics to healthcare, financial services, education, and media optimisation - demonstrating how AI is transforming virtually every industry vertical with solutions that enhance productivity, automate workflows, and unlock new levels of operational efficiency.

Why SVV

  • We are very proud to have both of our active funds, anchored by funds from national governments.

    Fund II, UK AI fund is anchored by capital from the UK Government, through the British Business Bank.

    Fund III, our Ireland | Global AI Investment Fund is anchored by capital from the Irish Government, through Enterprise Ireland.

    Together, they provide the strongest possible third-party validation of our investment strategy, operational capabilities, and fiduciary standards. These government entities conduct rigorous due diligence processes that scrutinise everything from our team's track record and investment methodology to our compliance frameworks and portfolio management systems - due diligence that often exceeds what private institutional investors require. Their backing signals that we have met the highest standards of professional fund management while demonstrating a proven ability to identify and nurture companies that contribute to national economic growth and innovation competitiveness.

    For our limited partners, this government endorsement provides an additional layer of confidence and risk mitigation, knowing that sophisticated sovereign investors have thoroughly vetted our approach and chosen to align their capital with our AI vision.

  • Our operator perspective enables us to provide our portfolio companies with the precise guidance they need at critical inflection points—from product-market fit to Series A preparation - resulting in 80% of our companies successfully raising follow-on rounds and 70% reaching Series A within 24 months, significantly outperforming industry benchmarks where 81% of seed companies fail to reach Series A within 36 months.t goes here

  • With the majority of our team holding Computer Science or Engineering qualifications, we have a rare combination of technical depth and investment acumen essential for navigating the complex AI market. This expertise allows us to conduct rigorous due diligence on algorithmic approaches, data architectures, and model performance metrics that determine whether an AI company has built defensible technology or just assembled existing APIs into a superficial solution.

    Our technical credibility is validated by the broader investor community, with investors regularly inviting us into deals specifically to leverage our AI expertise for technical DD.

  • Our direct experience in structuring and executing exits means we can help position our companies for maximum value creation, from understanding which strategic narratives resonate with different types of acquirers to timing market entry for optimal valuation multiples. We know firsthand how to prepare companies for due diligence processes, how to navigate complex negotiation dynamics, and crucially, how to identify and cultivate the specific value drivers that transform a good AI company into a strong acquisition target.

    This expertise creates an advantage for our LPs because it influences every aspect of our investment strategy -from initial deal selection where we evaluate exit potential alongside growth prospects, to ongoing portfolio support where we build toward strategic value inflection points. Unlike investors who just theorise about exit strategies, we architect them based on proven experience, resulting in superior returns.
