Saffron Hill Ventures
Offices: London, England
Saffron Hill Ventures is an early stage
venture capital fund. They were founded
in December 2000 by a group of investors
that collectively bring an international
network of relationships, financial resources,
and business expertise. Their typical investment
size is £500,000 - £2 million. The nature
of early stage investing requires frequent
contact with companies they invest in and
most of their companies are based in the
UK or continental Europe, but several have
a significant presence in the US market. |

to fill this gap. It focuses on investments
in mid-sized businesses operating primarily
in France and francophone Europe. |
