Our Journey
Foresight and Jenson Solutions have 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 125 companies and have £16 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.”
“We found Jenson Solutions probably the best panel we have presented to, and that was our opinion prior to being offered investment”
“The Jenson SEIS Fund Investee Conference was very enjoyable and informative. It was great to see Jenson Solutions supporting the companies they have invested in with this initiative.”
