Inspired to create and share wealth through disruptors
We help visionary entrepreneurs start the disruptors and scale them into platforms of the future.
About Grinshill Holdings
Philosophy
We are made in the Midlands for the country and the world. Our journey is simple. Invest in incredible people and incredible products.
We work with founders on a mission to change the one thing they think is fundamentally broken in the world. We care more about achieving long-term and sustainable returns. We have a sage-like perspective on the early-day risks and challenges of disruptors.
We remain actively helpful investors, not worrying about being a minority, always backing up founders from day zero. Entrepreneurs count on us for introductions, inking strategic partnerships, market intel, being their CXO and managing operational issues. Sometimes, we even help them secure surreal acquisition offers.
People
We’re not bankers, and we are not just hands-off advisors. We have deep connections to dominant business leaders and impact investors. We are part of prominent teams when world-class leaders are building world-class products and transforming businesses by applying technology and entrepreneurship. Some of the most famous international companies where we worked include Xerox, Oracle, Pfizer, EY, Google, Telenor, and Phoenix.
When we believe in your vision, market, and team, we get conviction quickly to partner with you, bringing our expertise, experience and networks. We often commit the first significant capital or delivery team a founder may need to get going. Where we are the lead investors, we aim for ownership positions of 15 % to 20%.
