Connecting Companies & Capital
We help technology companies raise finance.
Wrotham Partners advises technology companies across the UK and Europe on raising growth equity and private capital, and introduces them directly to institutional investors.
What we do
We raise finance for technology companies.
We work with founders, management teams and shareholders on the full arc of a fundraise: how much to raise, when, in what form, which investors are genuinely relevant, and how to run the process to a close.
Technology specialism
A single market, understood properly: software, artificial intelligence, financial technology, healthcare technology, climate and digital infrastructure.
Capital markets perspective
A working view of how private capital is currently approaching technology — instruments, structures, expectations and where attention sits.
Focused execution
A limited number of mandates, run with preparation, discipline and momentum from first conversation to completion.
The Firm
Built for technology. Focused on capital.
Wrotham Partners works with technology companies navigating growth, private capital and strategic opportunity. We are a boutique firm by design, taking a limited number of mandates so that each receives senior attention throughout.
Concentration on a single market is deliberate. Technology businesses are financed differently to other sectors, judged against a distinct set of measures, and served by capital providers with specific and evolving preferences.
Capabilities
Capital advisory for the technology economy.

Support for technology companies considering institutional equity capital for growth, expansion and strategic development.

05Strategic Capital
Capital relationships that may provide strategic as well as financial value.
Technology focus
Across the technology economy.
Each of these markets is financed on different terms, by different capital, against different evidence. Understanding those distinctions is the substance of the work.
Approach
A disciplined approach to private capital.
Every capital process is different. The principles behind a well-run process are not.
Understanding the business
A credible capital story begins with understanding the company, its market, economics, ambitions and strategic context.
Positioning
The strongest businesses still need to communicate their opportunity clearly to sophisticated capital providers.
Market perspective
Capital markets change. Investor priorities, valuation expectations and structures evolve with them.
Investor alignment
The objective is not maximum outreach. It is relevance.
Private capital
Capital is more than a transaction.
Private markets have broadened. Growth equity, later-stage venture, private credit, structured instruments and strategic capital now sit alongside one another, and they are not interchangeable.
The consequential decisions are rarely about availability. They are about instrument, timing, structure and partner — and each of them shapes the company long after the funds arrive.
The relevant question is not whether capital exists. It is which capital is appropriate.
How we think
Three principles.
Focus
We concentrate on technology and private capital. Specialism is what allows a view to be worth holding.
Alignment
Capital should support the company's long-term objectives, not merely satisfy an immediate requirement.
Execution
Important capital decisions require preparation, discipline and momentum.
Insights
Perspective on technology and private capital.
What institutional capital looks for in a technology business
Professional investors work from a consistent set of questions. Understanding them changes how a business presents itself.
Capital MarketsTiming a capital process
Companies rarely control market conditions. They do control readiness, and readiness is usually the larger variable.
Private MarketsEuropean technology and private capital
The set of capital available to European technology companies has broadened. So has the work required to navigate it.
Careers
Small teams. Serious work.
We work in small teams on a limited number of mandates. Analysts and associates are close to the substance of the work from the outset.
