Much better name, more suitable to the great mentoring of investee companies making them more investable, and happy to be co-investing in several companies.
Excellent numbers - it shows what is possible with a relatively small investment in early stage technology with good management and insight
Congratulations to the excellent results you have achieved and all the fantastic support you have provided to the companies you invest in!
Fantastic update Christine- keep up the good work and love the outdoor photo😊

2wExciting development. My time on the seed funds committee gave me ample evidence of the superb opportunities given by the work that goes on in Cambridge. Part of the driver to set up the genesis fund and Tin Alley Ventures at the University of Melbourne
