Driving growth in infrastructure
Following the outbreak of COVID-19, the role of technology amidst the crisis took centre stage. Businesses sought solutions for better supply chains, tools for remote working and cloud-based virtual care; digital infrastructure was challenged, and the importance of enabling innovation highlighted.
Developments in API-driven technology, open-source tech and analytics software are now more important than ever; having backed the likes of CloudNC, Fidel UK, and Webiny, Crowdcube and Episode 1 recognise the potential of tech businesses and are keen to work with more companies in the space.
So, regardless of sector, if your business is building software infrastructure that's enabling change, we want to hear from you.

About Episode 1 Ventures
Episode 1 is a £100m London-based VC firm, run by a team of entrepreneurs who have backed the likes of Zoopla, Shazam, Carwow, DataSift and Betfair. From their latest fund, they’re investing in B2B software businesses, including the likes of Ori, Webiny and CloudNC.
Here's what the team have to say on our new partnership: "We love investing in businesses that will be used in the foundations for many other businesses, or that will power many other businesses. We also love investing in stuff that’s just really complicated and takes years to develop, as long as the prize for success is enormous, like CloudNC, which builds automated factories."
