Sprout was founded to solve an important problem. Why don’t private investors have greater access to venture capital funds? We are on a mission to educate, engage, and improve access for private investors. Read Jonny Blausten's interview with TechBlast techblast.co.uk/news/private-i…

We’re challenging convention around unicorns and believe that LPs should be discussing the lesser-spotted dragon. There's an increasing focus on delivering real, tangible returns for investors - rather than headline-grabbing valuations. Read our blog: viasprout.com/2023/02/unicor…

Sprout has been included in Sifted's European Wealthtech Market Map for 2024. The space is growing rapidly, as entrants solve endless problems faced by investors & institutions. Slowly, but surely, we will see the behavioural, technological, and regulatory barriers come down.

The way most LPs discover funds is fundamentally broken. Too many investors rely on inbound leads, placement agents, and often even WhatsApp groups. The opacity benefits the wrong people. We’re changing that. Better, more relevant, and faster discovery is coming.

The average family office is now 52% allocated to alternative assets, according to KKR. We're doing all we can to help families, and their advisors, navigate the complex world of private markets, and make finding the right opportunities both faster and more relevant.

Always be raising. There is a dichotomy between when some managers want to be having conversations with LPs, and when LPs want to be having conversations with those managers. At Sprout, we're improving that process, by making connections both faster and more relevant than ever.

The most sophisticated investors allocate heavily to venture capital and private equity. Goldman Sachs puts the average family office allocation across buyout, growth, and venture capital at 26% of AuM.
