Grateful for any help mapping the market for investors who support the self-funded model in the UK....

Welcome any Family Offices in particular with experience with the model. Especially where they would sit alongside a cornerstone investor...

Thanks very much all!

I too am going down the self funded route. For my part, I have been building up a list of friends and family outside the search space as my primary source of equity investors for my database. Should I require any gap investment I intend to reach out here to the community. There are lots of great search tools to identify investors and I would be inclined to reach out to those that have links to previously funded deals.

Pitchbook has a search function which will identify c.800 PE type backers and you can then find those who work in the size and area you have interest. London Business School has access. Beauhurst is another resource, and you can get access via the Westminster Business Library near Victoria Station. Finally, you can find who funded other deals in the UK by looking at the SH01 filings on Companies House.
