## What happened

Capita Scaling Partner was the corporate venturing unit of Capita plc, the London-listed outsourcing and business-services group. Launched around 2019, it took minority stakes in UK growth-stage software and services businesses that could sell into Capita's public-sector and corporate client base, offering distribution and commercial support alongside capital. In May 2024 Global Venturing reported that Capita was discontinuing the unit as part of a wider restructuring after the group reported losses for 2023 and set out a cost-reduction programme. No new investments were made after that point; the arm had no separate legal entity on Companies House, operating within Capita plc.

## Why

- Macro / market conditions
- Other / not stated

## What happened to the assets, customers and team

Unit wound down as part of Capita's 2024 restructuring; existing stakes stayed with the parent.

## Lessons

Corporate venture arms tend to be cut first when the parent is loss-making and restructuring.
