Our Founder's Journey

Prime Start Capital was born from my experience as a serial entrepreneur in the HealthTech sector. After successfully founding and exiting The GP Service, a pioneering telemedicine platform acquired for £14 million, I recognised the unique challenges faced by innovative startups in accessing both capital and talent.

Our Founder's Journey

Our mission is to empower UK tech ventures by providing a unique combination of strategic funding, global talent solutions, and founder-led mentorship. We focus on startups with proven traction, typically with £500K+ in annual revenue, helping them scale efficiently and compete on a global stage.

Our Founder's Journey

My journey has taught me the importance of operational efficiency, strategic pivoting, and the power of a strong team. These lessons form the core of our investment philosophy, where we don't just provide capital, but act as true partners in our portfolio companies' growth journeys.

Meet Our Co-Founder: Empowering Founders to Thrive
PrimeStart Capital was born from my journey as a co-founder navigating the challenges of building and scaling tech startups. Having grown and successfully excited ventures like The GP Service, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to access the right mix of capital, talent, and resources.

I started PrimeStart Capital to go beyond funding—to help founders build strong teams, access the resources they need, and overcome the challenges that come with scaling a business. It’s about partnering with visionary entrepreneurs, sharing lessons from my journey, and working together to create lasting impact.

Let’s build the future of innovation—together.
