Challenge

Launching a venture fund is challenging, regardless of experience. The team at Love Ventures VC Limited recognised the importance of having an experienced investment manager to guide them. Sapphire was selected because of our success in launching and managing multiple investment funds.

Results

Sapphire acted as Love Ventures’ FCA-authorised investment manager, while Love Ventures advised the funds. Sapphire played a crucial role in the successful launch and management of the first three Love Ventures funds. Following the successful launch of these funds, Love Ventures went on to become an FCA self-authorised investment manager.
