What I learnt … about tourist venture capital
Robert Higginson, partner and co-founder at Par Equity, was featured in The Times Enterprise Network’s "What I Learnt" this week. He discusses the critical need for investors to make a long-term tech commitment to tech ecosystems outside of London.
This interview follows our recent Northern Lights report, which dives deep into the UK’s investment landscape. In the report, which will be released soon, we explore how to unleash the true potential of tech ecosystems in the North of the UK, highlighting the opportunities and challenges.
At Par Equity, we’re dedicated to empowering innovative tech entrepreneurs in these regions, driving growth, and unlocking untapped potential. We're all in on building a brighter future for tech in the North!
A great example of this commitment is our team in Leeds—Giles Moore, Sunny Nagi, and Elizabeth Young — who are actively collaborating with key stakeholders across Yorkshire to cultivate a thriving tech ecosystem in the region.
We would also like to recognise all who supported the region, including British Business Bank, Nexus Leeds, The University of Sheffield, Northern Gritstone, YFM Equity Partners, Mercia Asset Management PLC and many others!
