Investment thesis
Adeline is a London-based family office that invests with a long-term 5-10 year horizon in pre-seed to Series A technology startups that disrupt markets or use science and technology to build systemic leverage and redefine industries. Run by former operators, the firm backs founders driven by curiosity, data, and lasting impact, writing an average cheque of around £150K and following on in later rounds. Adeline is sector-agnostic, investing across frontier technologies, infrastructure tools, AI, and deep science-led solutions. It also supports the arts, nurturing creative communities and emerging voices with a focus on film and publishing. Based in London, it invests with a global outlook.
