Venture Capital in United Kingdom – Albany Ventures

Albany Ventures was founded in July 2000 as an independent specialist venture capital investor focusing on early stage technology companies. Albany regards the quality of the management team as a key criterion for selecting an investment. The company should have a strong core team with relevant commercial experience. Albany invests in technology companies that have generated their own Intellectual Property Rights (“IPR”) or operate in a clear defendable market niche. This will generally be demonstrated by patent applications or unique software platforms. Albany targets companies that have an identifiable and commercially viable route to market. Typically this will be demonstrated by having established commercial relationships with major industry players. Albany invests in companies whose products, applications or services have a substantial market opportunity. This will tend to mean they have the potential to generate income on a global basis. © Albany Ventures
