Our Mission
StarBeam Capital was founded to bridge the gap between world-class scientific innovation and commercial scale. We exist to help deep-tech and climate-tech breakthroughs—born in labs across the UK and around the world—become viable, fundable, and globally scalable ventures.
Our focus is on technologies grounded in physics, chemistry, and materials science, where scientific insight meets infrastructure-grade impact. From power systems and autonomy to quantum instrumentation and AI hardware, we back founders turning advanced research into real-world solutions.
Our Story
Having personally encountered the challenges faced by research spin-offs in accessing investment and broader support, our aim is to guarantee the successful commercialization of the most promising Deep Tech and Climate Tech breakthroughs, regardless of their origin.
​
Our team possesses a diverse range of scientific and technical knowledge, coupled with a stellar track record in venture capital and finance. Drawing from our direct experience in initiating and nurturing successful enterprises, we can identify founders who possess the determination and focus required to bring their concepts to fruition and generate value.
Furthermore, our technical expertise equips us to thoroughly assess and validate early-stage concepts, thereby minimizing investor risk while maximizing potential returns.
Early-stage companies invariably encounter execution challenges, often accompanied by inherent risks. Nonetheless, our extensive experience in nurturing companies within this sector, our profound domain knowledge, and our access to the Starbeam ecosystem empower us to make well-informed investment decisions. Moreover, we are well-positioned to significantly influence the execution strategies of the companies within our portfolio. ​
We don't operate in isolation. In our capacity as a lead investor, we aim to forge close partnerships with the companies we invest in, assembling customized investment syndicates that bring together complementary resources. This collaborative approach enhances the likelihood of securing future investment and ensures the companies have the support they need to thrive.
