PrimeStart Capital — This Week Inside the Founder Ecosystem

Inside the Founder’s Mind — Founder & Investor Conversations

Last week we launched a new episode of Inside the Founder’s Mind with Lord Leigh (Howard Leigh), Co-Founder of Cavendish Corporate Finance and a member of the House of Lords.

The conversation focused on what founders actually need to build long-term capital value: understanding risk rather than avoiding it, knowing what not to do, and why sustained pressure on policy particularly around capital gains tax matters for the UK’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Portfolio in Motion — Care Hires Launches New Platform

This week marked the launch of Agency Accelerator for Care Hires, our healthcare staffing portfolio company.

Week one results were immediate:

• reduced operational friction across shift management
• faster shift fulfilment
• lower admin overhead
• improved team coordination

Not in months. Not eventually. Week one.

Strong execution, supported by the right systems, compounds quickly.

Portfolio Ecosystem — Manchester City Partnership Event

Also we attended the Manchester City vs Galatasaray fixture, with thanks to Ross and the wider Manchester City team for their hospitality.

Suleman Sacranie was joined by Avihu Tamir and Hiren Patel, who Suleman co-founded The GP Service with.

Beyond the match itself, the visit created space for thoughtful discussion around how healthtech is evolving — from standalone digital tools to integrated platforms embedded within broader ecosystems. As healthcare delivery continues to shift towards data-led, preventative, and patient-centric models, partnerships with large institutions are increasingly becoming part of how innovation scales responsibly.

These conversations reinforced a wider theme across the PrimeStart ecosystem: healthtech doesn’t move forward in isolation. It progresses through collaboration, trust, and long-term partnerships that align technology, regulation, and real-world delivery.

Featured — Building a Connected Healthcare Ecosystem

Also,Suleman was featured in Executive's Diary Magazine, reflecting on the journey of building The GP Service, Care Hires, and Gene Fuel  ventures now collectively serving hundreds of thousands of patients across the UK.

The feature reinforced a core principle: companies aren’t built by individuals. They’re built by teams.

Progress across our ecosystem is only possible because of the people who show up and execute — including Tharaka de Alwis, whose vision and leadership shaped the foundation of what we’re building today. His legacy continues in everything we do.
