About

Rosary Capital was created to help early-stage companies access the capital, customers and expertise concentrated within the City of London.

We believe the Square Mile should be one of the best places in the world to start and grow a fintech or technology company. Our role is to help founders enter that ecosystem, build meaningful commercial relationships and establish companies that remain part of the City as they scale.

Why the City of London: The Square Mile holds one of the densest concentrations of banks, insurers, asset managers, advisers and regulators anywhere in the world. For a company selling into financial or professional services, the customers, capital and expertise it needs are often within a short walk of one another.
Why early-stage companies struggle to access it: Institutions are hard to navigate from the outside. Procurement is slow, the right contact is rarely obvious, and early-stage teams seldom have the time or relationships to work through it. Many founders give up on the City long before they have tested whether it could be their strongest market.
Rosary Capital's role: We invest early and then work on the practical problems that follow: who to speak to, how to be credible with an institutional buyer, which adviser to use, and where the next round of capital might come from.
Investment approach: We invest at inception and pre-seed, with selective early seed investments where we can add clear strategic value. First investments are of up to £250,000, and the size of any individual investment depends on the business, its stage and the round.
Inward investment: We work with founders and investors considering the UK as a base, helping suitable businesses understand the market and build local relationships. We do not provide immigration, regulatory, tax or legal advice.
Founder support: Support is tailored to the needs and stage of each company, and can include introductions to potential customers, access to experienced advisers, help preparing for institutional buyers, and support with subsequent fundraising.
Long-term company retention: We want the companies we back to be able to stay in the City as they grow, which means helping them find customers, talent, workspace and follow-on capital here rather than elsewhere.
Team and governance: Rosary Capital is led by an executive team and supported by a board and a senior advisory board drawn from financial services, technology, investment and business support. Governance and entity details are set out in the footer of this website.

Brand story

Why Rosary.

A rosary is made up of individual links, followed in sequence. We chose the name because enduring companies are built in much the same way: one insight, one decision, one customer and one relationship at a time.

Our role is to help founders build those links across the City of London.

Profit with Purpose

Rosary Capital is built on the belief that commercial success and wider opportunity should reinforce one another.

We invest in companies with the potential to create financial value, while using our position within the City of London to open doors for young people who may not otherwise have access to the technology, finance and investment sectors.

This is not a separate charitable programme attached to the investment business. It is part of how we think about talent, company building and long-term value.

The commercial case

Purpose as a source of long-term value.

Early-stage companies compete for capable, adaptable and ambitious people. At the same time, talented young people from lower-income backgrounds are often excluded from the networks through which opportunities in finance and technology are found.

Rosary Capital aims to connect those two needs.

By giving portfolio companies access to emerging talent, paid project support, apprenticeships and early-career recruitment, we can help founders build stronger teams while giving young people meaningful experience in high-growth businesses.

Talent: Help founders identify capable young people who may be overlooked by traditional recruitment routes.
Capability: Give young people practical experience working on real commercial and technology projects.
Retention: Build a stronger pipeline of talent connected to companies in the City of London.
Growth: Help early-stage businesses access additional skills and capacity as they develop.

Not every portfolio business will take part. Participation depends on the company's stage, capacity and commercial needs.
