Clarendon Fund Managers is a venture capital fund manager based in Belfast. We manage two live venture capital funds and a Private Investor Network.
Investment Fund for Northern Ireland is a £33m equity fund, funded by British Business Bank seeking to invest in high growth companies. Cheque sizes range from £250k to £3m to a maximum of £5m in any one company. The fund can also do replacement capital - 50% of each IFNI cheque can go towards taking capital off the table for founders and early stage shareholders.
Co-Fund NI is a £47m equity fund, funded by Invest NI and British Business Investments, seeking to invest in high growth companies alongside business angels, corporates, universities, funds and other private investors. Cheque sizes vary from £150k to £500k to a maximum of £2.5m in any one company.
We also manage the Clarendon Private Investor Network. CPIN Investors are typically High Net Worth individuals and sophisticated investors who back businesses but also spend time advising founders and helping their growth plans . We organise a number of pitching events throughout the year, where companies pitch their businesses to investors with the anticipation that this facilitates investment into the companies.
