On the tenth episode of Funding a Better Future: Expert Insights from ClimateTech Investors, I spoke to Kate Ronayne, Investment Director at Longwall Venture Partners LLP.
Longwall Venture Partners LLP support early-stage businesses that are harnessing the UK's expertise in science R&D to address the global challenges of tomorrow. They invest in companies that have the potential to disrupt an existing market or gain a material share of a new market, with a preference for B2B opportunities rather than consumer products.
