What we bring to the table

Expertise

In addition to our investment team, we engage industry and technology experts early in our due diligence, many of whom later invest their time, money, and networks to support your business. 

Support

A Par Equity Investor Director and Observer will join your board to provide strategic guidance. The Par Investor Director is most often pulled from our network with relevant domain expertise to then work alongside Par Equity, supporting your company at each stage of growth.

Talent

We have access to talent and relationships as and when your business needs it, fuelled by our extensive network of head-hunters, recruiters, regional chairs, and universities. 

Commitment 

We know the importance of patient capital. Not only will we work with you to find new investors, but we will regularly follow our money, as required, to help build your business.

Peer-to-peer support 

We hold events across the Par Equity community and wider tech ecosystem, helping you to create valuable relationships with your peers and new investors to drive your business forward.

Operational toolkits

The best companies are built on strong pillars and as steering committee members of ESG_VC, we encourage active discussion on ESG as an operational toolkit for your company, annually reviewing your progress and providing resources to help with your objectives.

What we look for

At Par Equity our focus is on enterprise software and deep tech companies in the North of the UK, supporting them from the Seed to Series A stages with total raises ranging from £0.5m to £20m.

We are led by the depth of innovation in the technology or business model, and are attracted to how your solution can be applied across multiple industries and sectors. We back visionary management teams with collaborative mindsets and, as deep tech investors, we support both hardware and software companies. In particular, we seek companies with proven commercial demand, demonstrating strong market pull with “must have” products. To achieve venture-scale returns, we invest in companies with large addressable markets and reduced barriers to international scaling.
