The team have achieved tremendous success with this mindset, earning recognition in the Global Tax Awards 2022. We take a closer look to see how Brick Capital Ventures will progress in the weeks and months to come. Having just finished off its third year of investing in early stage companies on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, Brick Capital Ventures has found itself in an incredibly strong position. With sixteen portfolio investments during this period, including healthy progress throughout the Covid period, the team have found progress has far from slowed down. In fact, the team receive in excess of six proposals a day, averaging 200 a month. Not just going strong, it seems like this team is only just getting started! The business is owned by two high net worth families, and aims to service additionally, high net worth families who have an alternative asset allocation for venture capital and using the unique model that has drawn such remarkable success. The team focus on the seed stage of a company’s life, defined by Brick Capital Ventures as pre-revenue through to pre-Series A. This has allowed the team to enter into numerous industries, carefully keeping away from slow regulatory sectors and those industries which are immature in their development and structure. Success is due, in no small part, to the unqiue knowledge of the firm’s principals. Andrew Craissati comes from an operations and finance background, having worked with the Asia Pacific Chairmanship of Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, the design and leadership of David de Rothschild’s family investment structure, Integritas, an M&A role at National Geographic Society and investment banking experience at Asia-based Magna Group.

Such business savvy minds are very appealing to a certain sort of business. While some seed stage companies shun assistance, Brick Capital Ventures is delighted to support those who might need assistance with strategy, corporate finance, cross-border development, recruitment, sales, business development, M&A and fund-raising. Having such expertise at the heart of the company guarantees advice which will be practical and forthright. If the team cannot make a difference to their company beyond funding, they simply will not invest in them at all. Needless to say, this means that the team is driven significantly by the human side of investing, with the strength of the leadership/ founding team playing a core role in any decisions made. As such, the Brick Capital Ventures team has an in-house psychologist to enhance the insight available. The portfolio, too, is designed to care, to nurture and to embrace diversity and inclusivity, with a headcount that is over 60% female. Until recently, the firm has grown through word of mouth and referrals from existing clients. Now, as scaling seems more appealing, the team have taken a stance that includes proactive marketing. Now the firm has found a place within the top 10% of all Seed stage investors, the founders are expanding their fund’s capital base and will be launching a campaign to raise further investment in 2023. For those who want to work with Brick Capital Ventures, there is incredible potential. We cannot wait to see that potential fulfilled.
