About

The site describes Houghton Street Ventures, an early-stage venture firm focused on backing founders connected to the London School of Economics (LSE). The firm invests from pre-seed through Series A using an approach it calls "Critical Capital," leading rounds with conviction and following on with focus. It invests across sectors and geographies without a specific focus, seeking the best founders within the LSE network, and also offers SPVs for deal-by-deal co-investment alongside its fund and other lead VCs. The page does not contain biographical detail specific to David Houghton as an individual.
