Experienced operators, strategic investors,
long-term partners.
Korra Ventures is a UK-based angel syndicate led by a team of founders, investors, and advisors with deep experience across the startup ecosystem. Together, we’ve launched and scaled businesses, built leading enterprise support organisations, and invested in ventures at the earliest stages of growth.
Our team has helped thousands of entrepreneurs navigate the challenges of starting and growing a business, through roles in angel investing, accelerator leadership, venture building, and strategic philanthropy. We’ve worked with founders across the UK and Europe, supported by institutions, funds, and corporate partners committed to building a more inclusive and resilient economy.
We set up Korra Ventures to back ambitious founders, particularly those who’ve been overlooked by traditional capital but who show strong commercial traction and the potential to scale. We combine early-stage investment with practical, strategic support to help these businesses grow on their own terms. We invest where our experience is most useful, our networks add value, and our conviction runs deep.
