Our portfolio represents sales of over £300 million, more than 3,000 employees and a successful track record of over 40 companies. We host our start-ups in an incubator, within a 30,000 sft venture hub office in Hammersmith, home to a buzzing mix of fast growth digital start-ups. We currently have 19 companies in the portfolio which vary in stage from seed to venture to growth to scaling.

One of our key differentiators in the market are the strength of our networks across industry, government, academia and investment and this together with our venture building experience and Venture Builder Services means that we can genuinely claim to accelerate the growth and success of our portfolio companies more significantly, quickly and sustainably.

CSR OFFER:

Blenheim Chalcot is committed to delivering social impact across the portfolio wherever possible. Rather than just write a dusty CSR policy, or send a team out to paint a playground once a year, we chose to support four charities directly within the portfolio – which means that over 15% of our ventures are charities.

These charities are the British Asian Trust, The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Onside Youth Zones, and TechTrust. In the same way that we support our ventures, our Partners provide direct hands on support to the charities through sitting on the boards and much more. In addition, we employ a full time Head of Social Impact who is responsible for boosting our impact across these charities and seeking out social value opportunities across the wider portfolio

We also encourage our ventures to engage in their own social and charitable initiatives, driven by staff – many of the ventures have selected long term charity partners which they are supporting on an ongoing basis.

PROCESS

We will look to invite interviewees into our own incubator; home to a mix of BC digital start-ups. This will be an opportunity to meet with the Head of the Tax Team of Blenheim Chalcot as well as functional leads, before meeting other members of your team and then one or two of the Founding Partners at final stage.

Our approach and style is professional yet down to earth. Whilst challenging, we hope the process will be as engaging and insightful for you as it will be for us.
