Important information

Thesis research and screening

Companies matched to your thesis, checked by operators.

We research and screen companies against your thesis and give you an operator's view of each one.

  1. Your thesis

    Sector, stage, region and ticket size, small or large.

  2. Our search

    The team's networks across the UK, Europe, the US, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.

  3. Operator check

    An operator looks at each company before you see it.

  4. What you receive

    A factual, commercial view of each company, matched to your criteria.

Introductions and transaction mandates are arranged through regulated partners.

Operator diligence

An operator's view before you invest.

Commercial and technical diligence from people who have run sales teams and built with AI.

Factual, commercial findings. The decision stays yours.

  • Go-to-market

    Who buys, why they buy now, and whether sales repeat without the founder in the room.

  • Pipeline quality

    Which deals are real, what the forecast rests on, and how deals are won and lost.

  • Team

    Who carries the number, what is missing, and which hire should come first.

  • AI claims

    What the AI does in production today, what it costs to run, and what is still a demo.

After the deal

Operators inside the companies you back.

Senior people work inside the company, on a plan the fund and the founders can both see.

Fractional leadership

A senior leader on a 100-day plan.

A leader in sales, growth, technology, operations or market access joins the company part-time, and stays hands-on until the permanent hire is in place.

AI in daily operations

AI across the portfolio.

We move AI from pilots into daily operations in each company, with an owner, a measure and controls for each process. How we take AI into daily work

Market entry

New markets for the companies you back.

Entering the UK, Europe, the Gulf or Asia-Pacific with people who have sold there, including joint ventures and local partners.

For fund managers

Raise your next fund.

We help fund managers raise capital, from positioning to close, with people who have brought in funding from seed to Series C.
  • Positioning against the funds your investors compare you with
  • The track-record story, told with evidence
  • Materials, the data room and due diligence questionnaires
  • Investor targeting across the UK, Europe, the Gulf and Asia-Pacific
  • Pitch practice before the first meetings
  • Support from first meeting to close

Introductions and transaction mandates are arranged through regulated partners.

Collaborative de-risking

Clear rules when a fund and its company both work with us.

Agreed in writing before the work starts, and the same for both sides.
How we work

  1. One client for each piece of work, named in writing.

  2. Fees disclosed in writing to both the fund and the company.

  3. No payments that either side does not know about.

  4. If we have an interest, we say so. If it conflicts, we step back.

Questions

Questions from funds.

Do you invest?
Yes. CloseWeave and its founders can invest their own money, sometimes alongside you, and part of a fee can be paid in equity. We do not manage other people's money. When we hold a stake in a company you are looking at, we tell you in writing before the work starts.
Can you help us raise our fund?
Yes. Positioning, the track-record story, materials and the data room, investor targeting across our regions, and support from first meeting to close. Introductions and transaction mandates are arranged through regulated partners.
Do you tell us which companies to back?
No. Our research and diligence give you factual, commercial findings. The decision stays yours.
How are you paid?
Fixed fees or retainers, and sometimes part in equity, agreed per engagement in writing. If a company you back also works with us, both of you see the fees.
Which sectors and regions do you cover?
We work across the UK, Europe, the US, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Our deepest experience is in AI, data and cloud technology. The team has sold to large enterprises, governments and regulated industries.
Do you work with funds outside the UK?
Yes. Research, diligence and portfolio support run the same way wherever you are based. Where an introduction is regulated locally, only a partner licensed there arranges it. We do not provide broker-dealer or investment adviser services in the United States. More on our regulatory status.
