About UEC Enterprises Ltd

We are not consultants but risk sharers. The CoVentures process we have developed is designed to overcome the lack of risk funding and to make start-up or established companies survive and thrive. It is our preference to work with companies at board level, and we will partner companies (or entrepreneurs) from pre-money start-ups to multi-million exits, mergers, and disposals.

The CoVentures scheme gives you access to a range of features and funding which immediately makes the company capable of attracting funding and appearing on the radar of corporate trading partners. These ingredients are then embedded in the company permanently, allowing the business to escape from the equity gap.

We seek to form long-term alliances on the basis of our ongoing ability to contribute. Our service is a personal one.

There is a strong portfolio focus on the environmental and sustainability sector, which mirrors both the University's expertise and that of the region, and serves to accelerate a cluster of eco-commercial businesses in the SW.

UEC Enterprises Ltd is supported by the Gatsby Trust and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of Exeter.
