About the Company
Playfair is a generalist fund focused exclusively on pre-seed investments. Based in London, Playfair invests across the UK and Europe with a deliberately high-conviction, low-volume approach: six investments per year from its third $70 million fund, with dedicated time, capital, and resources committed to supporting companies post-investment. Its
78% Series A progression rate is approximately four times the industry average, and its founders have raised more than $3 billion in follow-on capital since 2013. Playfair has backed more than 100 companies, including Thought Machine, Orca AI, Protex AI, StackOne, and Nory.
