ESM Investments

ESM Investments is a syndicated investor group based in Stirling, Scotland, focusing on early growth stage technology companies. The group comprises over 100 individual investors who meet every two months to consider investments in Scotland and the North of England. ESM Investments is a member of LINC Scotland, a network of business angel investors.

The group typically invests between £100,000 and £1 million per company per investment round, with a preference for co-investing alongside other syndicated investment groups, corporate investors, family offices, and public sector investors. ESM Investments seeks to add value beyond capital by providing hands-on support and encouraging collaboration among portfolio companies.

Founded in 2011 by Steven Morris, an experienced technology entrepreneur, ESM Investments has a track record of successful exits, including a 20x return on investment from a technology business founded by Morris. The group operates with an entrepreneur-to-entrepreneur approach, aiming to support business development and growth in the technology sector.
