How we invest

We invest £10k-£1m in early stage start-ups, either in Pre-Seed or Seed funding rounds.

Who we want

Like-minded digital entrepreneurs who have the knowledge and drive to succeed. Ask yourself three key questions:

Do you have a great idea?

Whether it’s being the market maker, or simply finding a way to do things better than the rest. Every business needs an idea and vision at its heart.

Do you have a plan?

Your company’s success will be defined by how well your idea is executed. Understanding how you plan is essential to making your vision a reality.

Do you have drive & knowledge?

Have you got the ambition and experience to put your idea and plan into action? We believe that a business is only as good as the people behind it.

What sectors

We try to invest in sectors we know well, as this allows us to make more informed decisions and puts Ki in a position to offer better strategic advice.

Artificial Intelligence

We see a shift towards AI as the main route for accessing information, which can provide highly personalised and context-aware user experiences. We are highly interested in businesses which can leverage the underlying technology to provide practical solutions to common problems.

Comparison & affiliate marketing

Being the middle man allows a business to have lower operational costs, higher margins and more budget for acquisition. For these reasons, alongside the flexibility typical of the comparison model, we are highly interested in comparison and affiliate marketing.

SaaS

The internet age has created the software as a service industry. From the simple websites that manage your credit score to apps that allow you to communicate with friends around the world, SaaS is a growing industry and we’re determined to be at the forefront.

Digital scaling

If you have an existing digital business that is ready for expansion but need the resource to do so, then let us know. There’s merit to fuelling growth in the form of capital and team, and scaling the foundation you have worked hard to lay down.

It’s important that our process is crystal clear to our prospective partners.
