Our Journey

Foresight and Jenson Solutions had been working together for a number of years. When the government announced the SEIS initiative, it was seen as a great opportunity for both parties to help small growing businesses exceed their potential, the Jenson Seed EIS Fund was therefore launched.

The Jenson Seed EIS Fund (Fund 1) closed over-subscribed at over £5m investing in 35 companies. We subsequently followed Fund 1 up with Jenson Seed EIS Fund 2. In 2015 we launched the combined Jenson SEIS & EIS Fund, which enabled us to provide follow-on funding to our existing portfolio companies via our EIS and additional syndicated investments with external investors. In 2019 we became an FCA authorised Fund Manager and launched separate SEIS & EIS evergreen funds. To date we have invested in over 140 companies and have £20 million assets under management. Our aim is to continue SEIS investment and grow our portfolio companies with follow-on EIS investment giving diversification to investors.  In August 2022 we certified as a B Corporation.

 

Our clients about us

We would not be where we are without Jenson.  Their team have been a constant source of support, advice and guidance for the last seven years or so.  Although we are absolutely thrilled to be rewarding their faith in us with this excellent exit, we’ll also miss them as an investor and as an ally.  We can’t thank them enough – they’ve been an integral part of the Voneus success story.”

Jenson’s support programme proved to be both enjoyable and informative, providing a valuable platform for upskilling, networking and knowledge exchange. Witnessing Jenson Solutions’ active support for the companies within their investment portfolio through such initiatives was particularly gratifying. The support we received underscores their dedication to fostering growth and collaboration within their investment ecosystem.
