Partnership Enquiries
What is Lochside Capital?
Lochside Capital operates as a private syndicate where seasoned operators collaborate on investment decisions. Each partner contributes expertise and capital, shaping portfolio strategy through active participation. Patient capital meets active partnership.
How does the partnership model differ from traditional funds?
Traditional funds operate with passive limited partners. Lochside Capital requires active participation from all partners in investment decisions, due diligence, and portfolio support. This collaborative approach uses collective operational experience.
Who qualifies for partnership?
Partnership suits experienced operators, successful entrepreneurs, and industry leaders who contribute both capital and expertise. Sophisticated individuals with demonstrated investment experience and available time for active participation form the syndicate's foundation.
What commitment is required?
Commitments encompass both capital and time. Partners commit to regular participation in monthly investment committees and due diligence sessions. This active involvement requirement distinguishes us from passive investment structures.
Which sectors receive focus?
Technical innovation drives investment selection, particularly artificial intelligence and machine learning applications with clear commercial paths. Market inefficiencies addressed through B2B software, enterprise solutions, and technology-enabled services receive priority.
What stage companies qualify?
Early-stage companies from pre-seed through Series A align with the partnership's approach. Second-time founders and domain experts with initial traction and product-market fit signals represent ideal candidates. Operational expertise adds value beyond capital.
How often do partners convene?
Monthly investment committees form the partnership's decision-making foundation. Additional sessions address specific due diligence requirements and portfolio company needs. Active participation remains mandatory for maintaining partnership status.
What investment horizon applies?
Patient capital philosophy drives five to ten year holding periods. Success measurement spans years rather than quarters, allowing founders time to build lasting businesses. Exit timing reflects collective partnership decisions optimising outcomes.
How does portfolio support work?
Operational expertise complements capital provision. Partners with relevant experience may assume advisory roles, supporting product development, go-to-market strategy, talent acquisition, and subsequent fundraising. Active partnership creates tangible value.
What regulatory framework applies?
Lochside Capital operates without Financial Conduct Authority authorisation or regulation. The structure specifically avoids collective investment scheme classification through mandatory active participation. Partners shape all investment decisions collaboratively.
How do financial promotions work?
Partnership communications occur through individual conversations with sophisticated individuals who express interest and demonstrate relevant experience. No public financial promotions or investment advice are provided.
How do partnership discussions begin?
Partnership discussions begin with confidential, individual conversations about alignment and mutual value creation. Contact through the website initiates preliminary dialogue about partnership structure, investment philosophy, and participation requirements.
How should founders submit for consideration?
Founders submit materials through the contact form for review. Alignment with investment thesis determines response priority. Warm introductions from the network receive attention, though direct submissions remain welcome.
