Funding businesses in London & South East

BGF invested £4m in PredictImmune as part of a joint funding package with Cambridge Innovation Capital, Cambridge Enterprise and Parkwalk.
- The company specialises in the development of pioneering prognostic tools for guiding treatment of immune-mediated diseases such as Crohn’s disease.
- The investment will support PredictImmune’s international commercial operations and its continued development of new tools.

BGF is a minority investor in SPOKE, the fast-growing direct to consumer menswear brand.
- The London-based business specialises in chinos. They use a handy “Fit Finder” tool to help customers find the right size, which is 10x bigger than average.
- Funding will drive SPOKE’s technology, product innovation, brand building and international expansion.

The innovative gym chain Gymbox has received £25m of BGF funding since July 2014.
- Based in London, the company is renowned for its unique style and world class facilities.
- Since BGF’s first investment, Gymbox has enjoyed rapid growth while the number of clubs it operates has risen from 5 to 11.
With investment frequency at an all time high last year, as well as a growing and increasingly dynamic portfolio, the team is on sound footing to identify and progress new opportunities despite the continued economic uncertainty."
