Thank you to Tara O'Connor at FT Adviser for covering the release of new data from the VCTA, which shows that VCT’s continued to provide strong support for UK early-stage companies in 2023, investing £505m of much needed capital into the most promising firms across the country. The data highlights the industry’s resilient focus on providing evergreen patient capital to breakthrough businesses, providing early-stage firms with the funding, time and support needed to reach their growth potential. Across all investments, the average age of a company receiving its first funding from a VCT in 2023 dropped to 5.2 years, the lowest figure on record, and consistent with the trend over recent years. Chris Lewis, Chair of the VCT Association, commented: “VCTs continue to provide much needed growth capital to many of the UK’s most promising young and early-stage companies. The Government’s recent decision to extend the VCT scheme by a further ten years demonstrates the significant economic value being driven through this model of patient capital investment. "This data highlights how important the continued success and growth of the VCT scheme will be for the UK and its growth companies. VCTs offer a patient approach to investing, backing companies throughout their scale-up journey regardless of economic cycles. As the economic picture improves, UK entrepreneurs know they can count on the VCT industry to be a steadfast partner in realising their growth ambitions, providing both funding and advice."
