Scottish Venture Fund Partners
The Scottish Venture Fund seeks to develop the venture capital market in Scotland and has cultivated an innovative partnership approach in which investment partners can fall into one or both of the following categories:
- Deal Promoting Partners (DPPs) bring deals to the table and offer Scottish Enterprise an opportunity to invest alongside them.
- Deal Venture Partners (DVPs) are interested in receiving information Scottish Enterprise may have on any suitable syndication opportunities.
Scottish Enterprise is keen to work with new partners no matter where they are based. We believe our partnerships should be a reciprocal relationship and we offer a strong platform for highlighting potential investee companies at all stages in their lifecycle, whether from our industry teams, Proof of Concept programme or a follow-on opportunity in an existing Scottish Enterprise Investments (SEI) agreement.
