Notes to Editors
Braveheart
Braveheart Investment Group is a technology commercialisation and investment management company based in Perth, Scotland. Since its formation in 1997 it has made the transition from start-up angel syndicate to fully listed company. Braveheart's shares listed on AIM in March 2007.
Investments are made in young, emerging, unlisted companies where there is potential for significant growth through successful commercialisation of IP and Braveheart enjoys close relationships with several universities to identify emerging technologies. Investments are predominantly technology-focused; however the Group also maintains limited exposure to more traditional businesses.
Braveheart's diverse portfolio currently comprises over 30 companies and it has completed over 80 deals in its eleven year history, including six IPOs, three trade sales and eight write-offs and has an exit IRR of 33%.
At the 2008 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of The Year Awards (Scotland) Braveheart CEO Geoffrey Thomson was given a special award recognising his contribution and support of emerging technology businesses in Scotland over the past decade.
Last week Braveheart announced the acquisition of Inkopo Ltd, the Yorkshire-based technology investment specialist. Inkopo has core businesses in the areas of investment facilitation, portfolio management and management services, providing a strong complementary fit with Braveheart. The acquisition gives the enlarged Group offices in Perth, London and Yorkshire.
