Recent News and Updates

Our Managing Partner, Greg Tufnell, was both honoured and flattered to be a judge at last month’s SeedLegals Start Up Awards in London.

It was fantastic to see inspirational founders and their big ideas, conviction and purpose mixing with so many founders, angels and advisers helping startups grow.

The businesses are fundamental to our nation’s success in so many respects and Prime Advantage Capital Partners is privileged to be working with so many founders and investors making this happen.

Sector Spotlight: “Mother & Baby”

Significant Opportunities For Growth, Investment and Exit…

Sector Lead: Gwynn Milligan

This sector continues to present some interesting opportunities, particularly amongst founder-led businesses with strong products, established brands and significant untapped commercial potential.

Through PACP, we’re engaging with a number of ambitious businesses at different stages of their development, from emerging brands looking to accelerate growth to established, profitable businesses considering their next chapter, including potential investment or exit.

One recurring theme is the opportunity to unlock value from businesses that have already demonstrated strong product innovation ad customer demand but have yet to maximise their commercial potential.

In particular, we’re seeing opportunities around:

• Channel diversification
• International growth
• Investment and exit readiness
• Strategic advisory

Our focus at PACP is to help these businesses realise their potential, bringing together hands-on commercial experience, strategic advisory support and access to investment and acquisition networks.

Founders and investors interested in this space, contact Gwynn directly at gwynn@pa-capitalpartners.com

Blend Launches New Funding Round…

Our client Blend is fundraising again to support next-stage growth of their innovative workforce training platform for the new generation of desk-less workers.

Following a successful round in 2025, the dynamic team leading this “Tik Tok for Workforce Training” has made huge progress, gaining traction and big named clients and positioning itself at the forefront of a market that has significant potential.

With mid-market casual dining chains in the pipeline to join an already impressive roster of clients, Blend is seeking investment of £150k to continue its growth with an eye firmly on viable exit routes.

Investing in Women: An Opportunity We Can’t Afford To Miss…

Just 2% of UK equity investment goes to businesses founded entirely by women.

It’s a staggering figure, particularly when you consider the number of talented, ambitious women building great businesses across the UK.

Research also shows that female founding teams typically secure investment rounds around half the size of those achieved by all-male teams.

We know there are fantastic female founders out there, developing innovative products, challenging established markets and building businesses with real potential.

What many need is the access to the right investors, connections and support to help them tae the next step.

In December, our Partner Sharon O’Connor will be hosting and bringing together four female founders, all building innovative businesses across Health and Wellbeing, to pitch an audience of investors.

Please join us online on Thursday 10th December at 3pm-4pm (UK Time).

Female Founders Growth Programme: Coming in Early 2027…

At PACP we are proud of our track record of success with Female Founders that bucks the trend, which typically sees over 30% of our successful fundraising going to female founder clients.

We are passionate and committed to build on this and on the workshops we delivered last year to create space for those of you who are pursuing and growing a great business.

To enable your growth and development at whatever stage you are at on your journey, whether growing your business, becoming investor ready, building value or preparing for exit, we are creating a community and channels of support to help in a practical way to give confidence to get there.

The programme will include mentoring, informal pop-up coaching and workshops to fill a particular need there may be at moments that matter to you.

Our Female Founders Growth Programmer will be led by our female partner community at PACP, all of whom have owned or run their own businesses or organisations, as well as their ongoing mentorship of female founders benefitting from their wisdom and lived experience.

We will be providing more details soon about the programme and the partners behind this exciting initiative to create a community with dedicated support for ambitious and talented female founders.

Investor Appetite Increases for Sustainability…

FTSE Russell’s latest Sustainable Investment Asset Owner Survey of 402 institutional investors across 24 countries finds 84% now factor it into decisions (up from 73%), with almost half citing improved returns as the driver.

Also telling is the barriers they cite most are no longer greenwashing, and there is a clear indication of what investors at every level increasingly expect; a returns-led investment case, credible and consistent data and sound governance.

At PACP, this is where we focus our work with growth-stage businesses helping them build foundations before they go to markets so that they are ready when investors come looking.

Our Climate team is led by specialist partner Lee Billingham – lee@pa-capitalpartners.com
