Regional focus Equity Gap is Edinburgh-based with a strong Scotland orientation, actively seeking pre-revenue, SEIS/EIS-eligible startups in Scotland or those willing to relocate there. This creates a target list of Scottish early-stage companies for partnership, funding tilts, and co-investment opportunities.

Investment activity Active investor network of 150+ members with a track record of mobilising substantial capital, including co-investments with VCs, SE, and Scottish National Investment Bank. This implies strong potential for syndication partnerships and larger follow-on rounds for portfolio companies.

Recent wins Recent investments across energy tech, biotech, and data analytics with notable rounds supported by government and university partners (University of Strathclyde, Scottish Enterprise, Innovate UK). This signals credibility and potential for strategic collaborations with public bodies and research institutions.

Leadership and governance Board-level additions and senior investment roles expanding, including new director appointments, which can open doors for investor introductions, strategic mentorship, and enhanced credibility when approaching follow-on funding rounds.

Market positioning Strong focus on early-stage, pre-revenue ventures with validated products and a pathway to SEIS/EIS relief, offering opportunities to position your startup for targeted introductions to Angel networks and potential grant-backed co-investment programs.
