Beringea

The company operates an investment management model focused on venture and growth capital funds spanning the UK and US. It establishes and manages UK Venture Capital Trusts for retail investors and growth funds in the US, then sources, diligences and manages investments in early-stage and scaling companies across sectors. Value is created by aiming to grow the value of portfolio companies through capital, governance and operational support (including a Scale-Up Academy) and then realising gains on exits.

Fund investors receive exposure to diversified portfolios (and, in the UK, tax advantages via the VCT structure), while portfolio companies receive capital and board-level support. The firm’s economics come primarily from recurring management and monitoring fees charged to funds/VCTs, plus a share of investment profits (carry), aligning its incentives with long-term portfolio performance.
