Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II
Equity Finance – For Yorkshire and the Humber businesses

Equity finance can be particularly important for new and innovative companies with high-growth potential as it can provide long-term backing to fund business growth through to revenue and profit.

How we work with founders
Every founder journey is different, so our approach adapts to the needs of each business.
We begin by getting to know the company, the leadership team and the ambition behind the business. Early conversations are focused on understanding what you are building and where you want to take it.
Not every conversation leads to investment, but we believe discussions should always be constructive. Many founders we meet stay connected long before (or even after) a funding round.
If you are exploring investment, you can learn more about who we back.

Access to the people behind the investment
Behind every investment is a team working alongside founders as businesses grow.
Our investors, operating partners and portfolio team bring experience from across venture investing, company building and sector expertise. Together they support founders as companies develop strategy, build teams and prepare for future growth.
