About us.

Our vision is to facilitate the funding journeys for disruptive companies from seed-stage until exit for entrepreneurs, whilst providing the best opportunities and mitigating risks for investors.

Shadow Founder supports entrepreneurs at various levels in their journey by providing an educational platform to help founders build a viable pitch deck and get their business investment ready; and an investment platform to help them raise funds, grow their investor network, and ultimately scale and exit their business. At the same time, we provide a collection of highly vetted, disruptive and scalable startup opportunities for investors.

We are sector-agnostic, with a focus on high growth, innovative and scalable early-stage companies. With a private network of highly experienced professional investors, co-funding collaborations and access to follow on funding through close associations with Family Offices and other institutions, Shadow Foundr has raised tens of millions of pounds for early-stage, high-growth businesses, to become one of the UK’s leading Funding Platforms.

Established in 2015, and with offices in London, Loughborough University and Edinburgh, Shadow Foundr is sector agnostic. Our FCA-regulated Funding Platform gives everyone the opportunity to invest into and share in the success of exceptional, disruptive and scalable companies, and allows businesses to raise valuable growth capital in a smart and cost-effective way.
