Midven: Building Strong and Successful Companies with Venture Capital
Midven is a venture capital firm based in the heart of Birmingham, UK. The company has been providing funding and support to entrepreneurs for over 25 years, helping them build strong and successful companies that make a positive impact on society.
At Midven, we believe that entrepreneurship is the key to economic growth and social progress. We are passionate about supporting innovative ideas and talented individuals who have the potential to create new products, services, and jobs.
Our team of experienced investors has a deep understanding of various industries such as healthcare, technology, manufacturing, engineering, and more. We use our expertise to identify promising startups that have a clear vision for growth and scalability.
We offer different types of funding options depending on the stage of development of each company. Our Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) provides early-stage startups with up to £150k in equity investment along with tax relief benefits for investors. Our Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) offers up to £5m in equity investment for more established businesses looking to scale up their operations.
In addition to financial support, we also provide strategic guidance through our network of industry experts who can help entrepreneurs navigate challenges such as market validation, product development, sales strategy or fundraising.
One example of our success story is Warwick Music Group (WMG), which produces innovative musical instruments made from plastic instead of traditional materials like brass or wood. WMG received an initial investment from Midven's Advantage Growth Fund in 2014 which helped them expand their product range globally. In 2018 they secured further funding from Midven's EIS fund which enabled them to develop new products including pTrumpet hyTech - an electronic trumpet designed specifically for beginners.
Another example is Kaido Group - a digital health startup focused on improving employee wellbeing through gamification techniques. Kaido received seed funding from Midven's Early Advantage Fund in 2017 which helped them develop their platform and secure partnerships with major corporations. In 2020 they secured further funding from Midven's EIS fund which enabled them to expand their team and launch new products.
At Midven, we are committed to supporting entrepreneurs who share our values of innovation, sustainability, and social impact. We believe that by investing in the right people and ideas, we can create a better future for everyone.
