Investment thesis
Invoke Capital positions itself as a non-traditional venture investor that makes a small number of selective investments and works with portfolio companies day-to-day. It backs fundamental technology — especially AI and deep tech emerging from Britain's science base — from the lab through startup growth, M&A, and public markets. Its sole investment criterion is that the underlying technology brings something entirely new to the market. Rather than conventional fund dynamics, it deploys hands-on technological, operational, and commercial expertise built through companies such as Autonomy, Blinkx, and Darktrace, offering open-door support across business strategy and execution, with time as its core currency.
