Sure Valley Ventures is a UK and Ireland-focused venture capital firm that has been investing in high-potential artificial intelligence (AI) software companies since 2017. The firm specializes in sectors such as enterprise software, immersive technologies, and cybersecurity, aiming to support disruptive innovations in these fields. By leveraging their extensive network and industry insights, Sure Valley Ventures empowers software entrepreneurs to navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities in the evolving technology landscape.

The firm's investment strategy focuses on seed to Series A stages, typically investing between £750,000 and £1,500,000 in initial funding rounds. They have a strong track record, with 80% of their portfolio companies raising follow-on Series A rounds, 70% of which occurred within 24 months of the initial seed investment.
