Origin invests in early-stage unquoted businesses and smaller quoted companies. Most of our portfolio companies have a technology focus, for example high-value manufacturing, life sciences, software and IT infrastructure, but we also have interests and experience in financial services, consumer products and media. The unquoted investment transactions we participate in are typically £50k – £2m in round size, with pre-money valuations of £200k – £10m. Quoted company market capitalisations are typically £10 – 200m. The funds we invest are private funds of our principals and a small network of co-investors.
