VENTURE CAPITAL PORTFOLIO PRACTICE

Practice Overview

Gillamor Stephens has served the European venture capital markets for ten years, building the executive and non-executive management teams for early stage technology companies.

We have built an excellent track record of success supporting companies as diverse as small University spinouts to strengthening Board teams in preparation for an IPO. We have addressed a breadth of technologies that encompasses everything from digital media, consumer devices and enterprise software through to battery technology, advanced materials and fabless semiconductors.

We feel our success has been achieved because of:
  • Our proven ability to evangelise new disruptive technology to a sceptical audience
  • Our ability to deliver truly global searches through Access Search partners and their operations in North America and Asia Pacific
  • Our transparent approach to the hiring process – weekly assignment updates and review calls
  • A commitment to succeed – we recognise that if we fail, so does our reputation.
We have the ability to:
  • Assess internal teams and compare with external candidates
  • Assess existing management teams to map areas of weakness
  • Provide psychometric assessment of candidates to provide further data points
  • Assemble compelling and definitive shortlists of motivated and relevant people.
