Future focus

The characteristics we expect to look for.

Rosary Capital is not currently making investments. As we develop the proposed strategy, however, there are certain characteristics that are likely to shape the businesses we ultimately want to support.

Proposed focus

Stage
Our proposed focus is inception and pre-seed, with the possibility of considering selected early-seed businesses where there is a particularly strong strategic fit.
Geography
Businesses based across the United Kingdom and international founders seeking to establish a meaningful UK presence.
Sectors
Our primary areas of interest are fintech and technology serving financial, professional and regulated markets.
Founders
People with a genuine understanding of the problem they are attempting to solve and the ability to learn quickly.
Customers
Businesses addressing a problem with an identifiable customer and a credible route towards a commercial relationship.
City relevance
Companies where relationships, expertise or prospective customers within the City of London could make a meaningful difference.

What we expect to pay attention to

  1. 01

    Depth of insight

    What does the founding team understand that is difficult for others to see?

  2. 02

    Evidence of demand

    Are prospective customers actually interested in solving the problem?

  3. 03

    Learning

    How quickly does the team turn new information into better decisions?

  4. 04

    Capital discipline

    What has been achieved with the resources available?

  5. 05

    Institutional readiness

    Could this business eventually meet the standards expected by sophisticated and regulated customers?

  6. 06

    Ambition

    Is the team trying to build something capable of becoming a substantial long-term company?

Proposed investment parameters

Proposed initial investment: up to approximately £250,000.

We are exploring an inception-to-pre-seed model under which future initial investments could be made up to a maximum of approximately £250,000.

This figure describes a proposed strategy only. Rosary Capital is not currently offering or committing investment and no investment structure is currently open. Final investment parameters may change as the structure is developed and the relevant legal and regulatory work is completed.
