Henry Alty, Investment Director at Gresham House Ventures, invests in process & workflow automation software, digital transformation, & scale-ups looking to improve the use of data & analytics

We explored:

  • the opportunity to build profitable, sustainable, scale-ups - "camels" - that many investors overlook in their search for unicorns
  • how to scale from 3m-5m ARR to 10m-20m+ ARR - founders must be prepared to invest in expensive leadership talent, & to relinquish control of key functions, to build a genuine scale-up
  • how Gresham's combined PE & VC expertise delivers value to growth companies seeking investors in an increasingly crowded market

  • why founders should take extensive references & really dig into the approach & track record of prospective investors - just as they should do when hiring senior talent

  • why companies who embrace ESG criteria are well-positioned for the challenges of the next decade
