Opportunities

We are at the early stages of the next economic revolution. Rapid advancements in a wide range of technologies are delivering real possibilities for fundamental transformations of major industries, where sustainable and superior products disrupt the status quo.

One of our first investment opportunities, Alba, the SME challenger bank, has been founded on its ability to be a disruptive player in the UK SME banking sector.  Building on a market leading technology and utilising an experienced and focused team, this represents one of the few opportunities to support such a credible challenger within the broader fintech space.  Alba, through blending customer relationship focus with proven technology then has the potential to support numerous UK based businesses as they develop and grow themselves thus creating a wider virtuous circle of business growth.

Therefore whilst Seismic is excited about the Alba opportunity it remains a generalist investor taking a thematic approach to identifying and building investee companies.

These common themes are:

• If earlier stage, a highly experienced management team and extremely credible cornerstone investor base.
• Otherwise, revenue generating with an existing track record of selling a product/service.
• Strong market dynamics with the potential to use technology to disrupt existing competition.

• UK based businesses with the potential to grow via a domestic niche or via overseas sales (to export markets).
• In the event of turnarounds or investments requiring liquidity, a strong asset base against which to support the investment.

RISK WARNING

Investing in early-stage companies involves risks, including illiquidity, lack of dividends, loss of investment and dilution, and it should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Seismic's offerings are targeted exclusively at investors who are sufficiently sophisticated to understand these risks and make their own investment decisions.
