Founded in 2009, Talis is a London-based venture capital firm. Investing on behalf of a unique community of cross-sector entrepreneurs, we back visionary founders in Europe and the US at seed and Series A.
We’re a close-knit team, and we’ve always prided ourselves on our unconventionality. Our experience has taught us to embrace the unexpected – because it’s founders with a fresh perspective on the future who will write it. We value vision over verticals, so we’re able to spot transformative potential that others overlook.
Our ethos means we only partner with people and ideas that inspire us. We’re truly founder-first, investing based on shared passion, vision and determination: building trusting, long-term relationships that go way beyond the boardroom.
It’s a fresh approach to venture, built to support founders who see a future others haven’t.
