core venture capital

bringing your dream to life.

Who We Are

Our network is based mainly in NI but stretches to London, Scotland and as far afield as Uganda and Australia through a number of thriving business ventures and charitable projects.  We have connections to a wide variety of companies from dental practises to distribution firms, marketing to media as well as environmental projects and children’s play facilities among many more.

Core Venture Capital’s passion is to support and release creative entrepreneurship on the North Coast and beyond by encouraging local people to pursue their dreams.  We seek to model a culture of co-operation, collaboration and honour that brings growth to our region.  Our fervent hope is to see new employment opportunities develop that not only build up our economy but bring life to individuals, families and the wider community as a whole.

We recognise the talent in our area and are looking to feed into inspired ideas for new and existing businesses at a strategic and operational level.  We offer practical, face to face guidance and mentoring to develop these ideas by bringing visionary passion together with experienced perspectives.  We want to build healthy leaders with integrity at their core in such a way that encourages future multiplication as each unique idea is released to its fullest potential.

View our Corporate Pledge

Getting a new venture up and running can be a lonely journey and no matter how gifted you may be, no individual can do everything.  We want to support you to do what only you can do with your idea by helping you to shape your abilities and connecting you with people whose specific expertise and experience will help your plans to flourish.

We do this through a variety of options:

  • A free face to face initial discussion (a coffee – on us!)
  • Practical, bespoke advice tailored to your project
  • Funding options and a possible equity stake to allow us to continue the journey together
  • Connections to other skill sets that can become part of the professional team required to help you reach your goals (eg web designers, accountants, solicitors, marketing consultants)

All you need before you come to us is a vision or an idea that we can then help you to develop.  We recognise that every project is unique so the roadmaps set in place to support you will be decided upon a case by case basis.   You need to be willing to work hard to see your vision grow but we can discuss what framework could be in place to help you achieve realistic targets agreed upon with your mentor.

It could be that an informal investor might provide seed funding or capital for your start up in exchange for an equity stake.  This is sometimes referred to as having an Angel Investor or Business Angel.   This will allow close monitoring and assistance in the form of mentoring and will involve discussions surrounding income and expenditure, cash flow figures, regular management accounts, cost analysis and projections.  Again, any set measures or frameworks put in place to protect an investment will be tailored to your individual project.
