o2h Ventures Proud to be Shortlisted for the EISA Impact Award for a Second Year Running!
Jun 7 2024

o2h Ventures has been shortlisted for the EISA Impact Award for the second consecutive year. This nomination showcases the significant impact we are making within the early-stage biotech industry through our investments in the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS).

At o2h Ventures, we have a strong pipeline of 30+ innovative and exciting early-stage biotechs focusing on novel drug therapeutics and AI/ML enablers. These companies are focused on addressing critical and unmet health needs, including fatal diseases such as cancer and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), mental health conditions like depression, crucial diseases affecting the ear and eye, and infectious diseases. By investing in pure-play discovery and therapeutics we aim to profoundly impact patients’ health in the long run. 

Through our open human health Knowledge Intensive EIS and SEIS funds, we actively seek out companies developing assets for clinical trials and proof of concept and supporting companies having AI/ML and quantum computing to advance drug discovery.

The annual EISA Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of members of the EIS and SEIS community. From entrepreneurs to investors, legal experts to financial advisors (and more), the community is a broad church.

Please refer to the relevant fund’s full risk warnings contained in their Information Memorandums.
Your capital is at risk. Investing in early stage businesses involves risks, including illiquidity, lack of dividends, loss of investment and dilution, and it should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. o2h Ventures’ funds are targeted exclusively at sophisticated or high net worth investors who understand these risks and make their own investment decisions. Tax relief depends on an individual’s circumstances and may change in the future. In addition, the availability of tax relief depends on the company invested in maintaining its qualifying status. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. You should not rely on any past performance as a guarantee of future investment performance.
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.
