Description
Playfair is a sector agnostic fund focused exclusively on pre-seed investing. Based in London, Playfair invests across the UK and Europe with an intentionally high conviction, low volume approach: making six investments a year out of its third $70m fund and preserving time, capital and resource to help companies post-investment.
