April 2023 Launch
SEIS FUND
Regional at seed – global at exit
The DSW Ventures SEIS fund is being launched in April 2023 to build on our success in building regional deep technology, software and software-enabled services.
The partners of DSW have committed nearly 25% of the minimum raise, and we are targeting an overall fund of £1m-£2m.
The fund is taking applications now from interested investors. Note that Seed EIS is a very high risk asset class and may not be suitable for all investors.
Contact our partners if you would like to invest.

Important note: Seed EIS funds invest in very early-stage companies with a very high risk of failure. Investors should be aware that Seed EIS qualification is not guaranteed and there is a risk that the entire investment could be lost. Investing in DSW Ventures Seed EIS fund is therefore subject to suitability assessments.
