About us

We work with companies that are solving real problems.

 

Landran is Venture Capital with a difference. We pride ourselves on providing more than 'just funding'. 

Our Founding Partners have all been exactly where you are right now and we know just how tough it can be to win the game of starting, scaling and exiting a company. 

Landran is the VC fund we wish existed when we were starting and scaling our businesses. 

We play in our lane, no one else's.  Providing our founders & their companies with unparalleled support, funding and access to our networks. 

At Landran we operate under a mandate of backing great companies, motivated executive teams and extraordinary ideas.

Our team of experts identify and invest in great companies to drive exponential growth. We have a keen focus on opening and closing each phase of the journey properly - right through to exit. 


We understand the unique challenges that women face when it comes to accessing funding for their businesses, and we are committed to helping close the gender gap in entrepreneurship.

Sectors we love to Fund:

  • Healthcare

  • Sports Tech

  • Hospitality Tech

  • Direct to Consumer Brands

Funding Mandate

The Conference

Are you a LANDRAN?

 

If you are a Landran then the following describes you well: 

“You are a natural leader, independent and individualistic. You are extremely ambitious, original, and courageous. You employ new and unproven methods. You are an explorer and an innovator. You are confident, and energetic.”

Our partners have experience along the journey from idea to exit and everything that happens in between. We know that not all companies run the same or need the same funding, support and mentoring. Even if they are in the same sector or at the same stage. We encourage & help our companies to create diverse strategies, and we work with our portfolio companies to build great businesses. There is always a solution to any problem and there are many ways to succeed in business. Landran builds great companies with our founders, that allow all parties involved to 'win' - whatever that looks like for each of them.
