Funding : Rainbow Seed Fund

The £10m Rainbow Seed Fund is an evergreen venture capital dedicated to investing in technologies from its publicly funded reserch base but independently managed.

The Fund was established in 2001 with funding from the office of science and innovation to commercialise scientific research in a leading group of the UK publicly funded insitutions, our partners. The fund made its first investment in 2002 and has increased its partner base twice, in 2004 with the addition of BBSRC and in 2006 when 6 other leading research insitiutes joined the Fund.

The Fund invests at the ealiest stages, often before there is a company, and helps to find people with commercial skills and other investors to turn an idea into a business. Rainbow's partners spend over £1 billion on resaerch and development every year giving the fund privileged access to high quality investment propositions at the earliest stages.
