Investment thesis
Walking Ventures is an entrepreneur-led, London-based seed fund investing in internet and mobile startups with big ambitions, strong teams, meaningful early traction, large addressable markets, and defensible barriers to entry. It typically provides the first professional capital, usually in rounds around £500K to $/€1m, though it can go lower. Its sweet spot is roughly £1m/€1m rounds, where it leads by taking about half the round and bringing in value-adding co-investors. The firm aims to lead rounds, take board seats, and act as a helpful minority investor, working in a personal, non-committee style. Beyond capital, it offers support, introductions, connections, and shared learning across its founder network.
