Double Down
Venture capitalSeed–Series A · 5 people tracked
Investment thesis
Double Down invests in B2B software businesses across the UK and Europe, writing cheques up to £2M via primary and secondary transactions. The firm favours lean, capital-efficient companies that focus on customers and long-term durability rather than perpetual fundraising. It looks for products with demonstrable ROI that improve customers' top or bottom line and become integral to how they operate. Prioritising sustainable, compounding growth, the firm avoids pushing founders to raise capital simply to mark up its own valuation. It provides hands-on support including hiring and customer introductions, and recognises equity is not always the right instrument, helping founders access debt and grant funding to preserve their ownership.
