What we do - Process

The investment process consists of the following steps:

  • Octopus meets, evaluates and recommends businesses 
  • Potential investee company pitches to Octopus Investor Group 
  • Octopus completes investment on behalf of the funds managed by Octopus and Octopus Investor Group 

The screening and selection process is rigorous: 

  • 2,500 proposals screened 
  • 1000 business plans reviewed
  • 200 detailed reviews  
  • 8-10 investments

We will not invest in an opportunity unless we can:

  • Work with the management team
  • Leverage the network of Octopus Ventures Independent Investors
  • Understand the industry
  • Add management value
