Why Tern

Opportunities, investment and growth strategies

Unlike many of our peers, we invest in only a handful of companies in a given period. This means we have the time to be a committed and hands on partner, invariably taking an active position on the Board of our investments. We provide our investments with...

Capital
To ensure your business has the financial agility to grow and grab opportunities we’ll inject the necessary capital.

Mentoring
We support the leadership team in all areas of running a company including overall strategy, finance, HR, marketing, sales, legal and operations management. If one of our directors hasn’t got the skill set and experience needed then we’ll bring it in from our extensive network of influential, market-leading contacts.

Opportunities
With collective experience in the IT space amounting to 100 years touching over 50 businesses, we have an impressive network of connections that can help create new supply chains, build your team out or close deals.

Criteria for investment

We don’t have a checklist but generally our investments share features including:

• UK based and privately owned
• North American and global opportunity
• Strong and committed management team
• Operating in the Cloud or IoT space
• Disruptive technology with own IP
• 36-60 month value realisation cycle dependent on maturity of business on investment
