NG Co-Investment

Connecting the right syndicate for the right growth stage

Our co-investment approach connects founders to a global network of deep tech and life sciences investors to support strong, aligned syndicates.

With over 16,000 academics and researchers across the Northern Arc universities, Northern Gritstone has an exceptional pipeline of investment opportunities grounded in world-class research. Our strong balance sheet allows us to invest at an early stage and continue supporting companies through multiple rounds of funding.

More broadly, we act as a connector in the ecosystem – bringing structure, insight, and capital to help scale breakthrough science and technology out of UK universities.
