Welcome to the London Technology Fund
The London Technology Fund (LTF) is London's specialist investor in new technology companies. LTF is focused on the funding gap for new, high growth technology companies based in Greater London and bridges the gap by leading and building a syndicate of investors or by completing the gap in an existing syndicate. It invests from £50,000 to over £1m in individual investment rounds, resulting in investment rounds from LTF and co-investors ranging from £100,000 to over £10m.
To date, LTF has completed 21 investments in eight companies, acting as a key investor to help secure over £26m of funding for London-based high technology companies. These investments range from a financial services software company serving the foreign exchange market, where LTF led an £800,000 round, to a company developing a vaccine for mutating viruses raising an initial £4.5m (and subsequently up to £8.65m), where LTF was the only UK venture capital fund alongside a major overseas corporate venture capital fund and two specialist overseas life science institutional investors. We have also joined syndicates to help other investors close important funding rounds, including a £6m funding round for a biotechnology spin-out from a leading university.
