Longwall Ventures is a UK deep tech investor based at Harwell, Oxfordshire, that has been backing research-led companies since 2008. It invests at pre-seed and seed stage, often before a product has found its market, in physical and life sciences businesses.
Target sectors include advanced manufacturing, life sciences, medical technologies, defence and clean energy. Initial cheques go up to £1.5m, with capacity for follow-on investment, and the firm looks for defensible technology in valuable markets with the potential for a tenfold return. Its portfolio has included OrganOx and Oxford Space Systems, and the team offers hands-on company-building support alongside capital.
