Westerly Winds is an investment firm founded in London in 2018, with a second office in Austin, Texas, that applies a private equity style approach to emerging, venture-stage companies. Rather than relying on a few outsized winners, it partners with efficient, well-governed businesses and takes an engaged role alongside founders and boards. It invests across sectors and reports more than $100m of capital invested across 12 companies, including Aquabyte, LeaseLock and Carbon Clean. The firm is authorised and regulated by the FCA and is a signatory to the Investing in Women Code.
