British Design Fund: Investing in early stage UK-based product and manufacturing firms

The British Design Fund’s Damon Bonser tells Proactive London’s Andrew Scott the fund invests in and supports early stage UK-based product and manufacturing firms.

”These are companies that are often pre-revenue or have started trading early on and have designed a product which solves a specific need but they require not just funding but also expertise”.

He adds that the fund won’t invest in a single product – each company must be able to produce a range of products as this reduces risk and makes it easier to secure deals with distributors.
