"The New Atlantis" was a novel by Sir Francis Bacon that described a future society based on knowledge and discovery.
First published in 1627, it anticipated the modern research university. Bacon's writing led to the formation of scientific societies like the Royal Society.

We have huge ambition for the businesses we work with.
Our approach to start-up investing is underpinned by four key beliefs:
- The world needs more innovation. Start-ups bringing innovative ideas and intellectual property to life is a smart way to tackle the biggest challenges in the world. There is long-term value in these ideas.
- Building things is difficult. Start-ups are fragile and easily broken. Entrepreneurs need resources, support and access to networks as they build sustainable businesses around their insights.
- Early choices matter. Entrepreneurs need guides to help them avoid the obvious mistakes. Most start-ups fail to realise their potential, often because early choices reduce future choices.
- No-one succeeds alone. Trust is everything and team dynamics are crucial. Smart capital beats dumb money, so partners and investors need to be chosen carefully.
