Ascot Capital Partners is a London private investment firm set up by Irish entrepreneur Martin Dunphy after he sold his stake in debt purchaser Marlin Financial Group in 2014\. It invests in small, fast-growing businesses that are still run by their founders and want to reach the next stage of growth.

Alongside capital, the firm offers strategy, mentoring, introductions and organisational support, drawing on the operating experience of its team in scaling smaller companies. Reported interests include technology businesses working on AI and privacy.
