EMV Capital (AIM:EMVC) has successfully completed an oversubscribed £1.5 million fundraising round at a 15% premium to market price, demonstrating robust shareholder confidence despite challenging market conditions.
The deep-tech and life sciences VC investment group structured the raise in two tranches, with management and existing shareholders contributing £900,000 through a subscription, whilst the retail offering secured approximately £600,000. The strategic funding arrives as the company advances towards its ambitious target of £200 million in assets under management by 2025.
The company’s current portfolio encompasses 70 companies with £100 million in assets under management, including £40 million-plus in direct balance sheet holdings. EMV Capital’s Venture Build programme has proven particularly successful, generating more than £7 million in value from modest investments of £400,000 across four companies, including DeepTech Recycling and DName-iT.
Chief Executive Dr Ilian Iliev highlighted the company’s streamlined strategy, emphasising their focus on expanding fund management practices and launching additional funds. The fresh capital will support working capital requirements and fuel the growth of their successful Venture Build programme.
The company’s integrated business model has demonstrated significant value creation potential, with expectations of capital gains from portfolio exits over the next 18-24 months. The operational income stream is positioning EMV Capital towards profitability, independent of exit-based capital gains.
This successful fundraise, completed at a premium during challenging market conditions, signals strong institutional and retail investor confidence in EMV Capital’s business model and growth trajectory.
