Fund Overview

Fund Fund Overview
Min Investment £25,000, there is no maximum investment.
Fund Size Target Fund size of £10m.
Tax Advantages If you are a UK tax payer, you may benefit from for S/EIS tax reliefs on investments.
Differentiation Grassroots working relationships providing early access to deals.
Diversification We will typically use your subscription to build a Portfolio of 5-10 unquoted and/or AIM-listed companies.
Liquidity Capital is returned to you only when we are able to sell the shares in your portfolio companies.
Expected Exit 3-7 years. o2h will seek to exit investments after 3 years to avoid losing S/EIS reliefs. The fund may hold investments longer with a view to achieving a better exit. For similar reasons we may exit businesses earlier than 3 years notwithstanding S/EIS reliefs might be lost.
Speed of Investments While we will aim to deploy capital within 12 months, we will only invest when we find suitably exciting opportunities, which may on occasion extend this period.
Risks You should only subscribe if you are able to bear losing your entire investment.

  • Access to the most exciting scientific ideas through its live grassroots working relationships in the biotech community.
  • Operating from their proprietary 2.7 acre Mill SciTech Park the fund can incubate life science companies leading to more effective decision making.
  • The fund is structured to be S/EIS compliant providing income, inheritance and capital gains tax breaks for UK tax payers.

about us

The biotech sector is one of the leading sectors in the UK economy. The large pharma companies now rely on the small innovative biotech’s for new ideas in disease areas such as cancer and neurosciences amongst others which has led to higher potential exit valuations. The fund will help widen the community of investors that will help expand early stage research in the UK.

The o2h team are leaders in the biotech community and have been actively involved as investors, holding various board/industry positions as well as being engaged in grassroots scientific activity for over 20 years.

o2h ventures Limited is regulated and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 812245). Capital at risk, only suitable for high net worth and sophisticated investors

Risk Information

Due to the potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers this investment to be high risk

What are the key risks?

1 – You could lose all the money you invest

• If the business you invest in fails, you are likely to lose 100% of the money you invest. Most start-up businesses fail.

2 – You are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong

• Protection from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), in relation to claims against failed regulated firms, does not cover poor investment performance. Try the FSCS investment protection checker here. (https://www.fscs.org.uk/check/investment-protection-checker)

• Protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) does not cover poor investment performance. If you have a complaint against an FCA-regulated firm, FOS may be able to consider it. Learn more about FOS protection here. (https://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/consumers)

3 – You won’t get your money back quickly

• Even if the business you invest in is successful, it may take several years to get your money back. You are unlikely to be able to sell your investment early.

• The most likely way to get your money back is if the business is bought by another business or lists its shares on an exchange such as the London Stock Exchange. These events are not common.

• If you are investing in a start-up business, you should not expect to get your money back through dividends. Start-up businesses rarely pay these.

4 – Don’t put all your eggs in one basket

• Putting all your money into a single business or type of investment for example, is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well.

• A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments (https://www.fca.org.uk/investsmart/5-questions-ask-you-invest)

5 – The value of your investment can be reduced

• The percentage of the business that you own will decrease if the business issues more shares. This could mean that the value of your investment reduces, depending on how much the business grows. Most start-up businesses issue multiple rounds of shares.

• These new shares could have addition rights that your shares don’t have, such as the right to receive a fixed dividend, which could further reduce your chances of getting a return on your investment.
