Strategic advisory and investment · London
Counsel from every side of the table.
High Elm Capital advises founders and private company owners on strategy, structure and capital. It invests its own money in selected companies and helps them secure funding from others. The firm draws on experience from trading floors, investment committees, company boardrooms and institutional funding deals.
Advice and capital, under one roof.
We advise. We invest our own capital. And when a deal isn’t the right fit for us, we connect you with the investors and lenders it does suit.
For founders
Test the idea. Then fund it.
A First Look pressure-tests your business the way an investor would. Founders with a strong case can receive investment from High Elm. Where we aren’t the right investor, we introduce you to those who are.

In brief
The growth of tomorrow comes from that which is created today.
Yet the greatest idea in the world without a market to use it can be meaningless. We bridge that gap and help our companies to tread the right path.
