Our take
Blenheim Chalcot is a digital startup venture builder. It raises funding and provides operational support for fledgling companies to allow them to focus on building an exceptional product to take to market. Blenheim Chalcot takes a different approach than its more traditional competitors by investing knowledge, experience, ideas, infrastructure, and funds. Companies are started in-house and given everything they need to become a successful tech firm.
Blenheim Chalcot specialises in SaaS and generative AI startups and more recently has branched into healthcare tech, a rapidly expanding sector. Companies in their portfolio include financial services, education, media and marketing, public services and health as well as sports market companies, with over 60 businesses amounting to more than $500 million in annual revenues.
Blenheim Chalcot has had a number of significant exits in the past few years – just 3 years after its launch, ClearScore was acquired by Experian for £275m in 2018. Its portfolio has been responsible for employing over 3000 people and investment raises surpassing $600 million. Its laurels then, indicate a savvy and successful business investment venture.
