Our Founder's Journey

Prime Start Capital was born from my experience as a serial entrepreneur in the HealthTech sector. After successfully founding and exiting The GP Service, a pioneering telemedicine platform acquired for £14 million, I recognised the unique challenges faced by innovative startups in accessing both capital and talent.

Our Founder's Journey

Our mission is to empower UK tech ventures by providing a unique combination of strategic funding, global talent solutions, and founder-led mentorship. We focus on startups with proven traction, typically with £500K+ in annual revenue, helping them scale efficiently and compete on a global stage.

Our Founder's Journey

My journey has taught me the importance of operational efficiency, strategic pivoting, and the power of a strong team. These lessons form the core of our investment philosophy, where we don't just provide capital, but act as true partners in our portfolio companies' growth journeys.

From Founder to Execution Partner
Prime Start began as a venture fund built by operators  after exiting The GP Service for £14 million, our founder saw the real challenges startups face: slow hiring, high burn, and bloated operations.

We’ve now evolved into an execution partner building AI workflows, offshore teams, and growth ops that scale startups without overhead.
