Investment Thesis

Love Ventures backs founders building productivity-enhancing innovation across the UK, believing that emerging technologies like AI, automation, and real-time data enable smaller teams to do more with less. They invest early (pre-seed to Series A) in companies solving structural challenges around how people spend their time and money, with a focus on founders demonstrating exceptional founder-market fit, velocity, and early traction signals rather than perfect defensibility.
