The South East Growth Fund (SEGF) is a £30m venture capital fund committed to investing in fast growing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in South East England.  The exact area that we cover can be found in our investment criteria section.

We invest up to £500k in companies that can demonstrate that they are able to achieve significant growth in the future.  However, we are limited to an initial investment of £250k, with the ability to invest up to another £250k after 6 months.  For investee companies raising further funds, we can invest up to £3m in any one company alongside other new investors.

We therefore welcome approaches from entrepreneurs or their advisors.
