Direct peers

• LocalGlobe: London-headquartered pre-seed and seed venture investor backing UK and European founders. Highly comparable as a UK-based boutique VC deploying its own balance sheet into early-stage companies with hands-on operational support.
• Atomico: London-founded venture capital firm investing across European technology stages from early to growth. Comparable as a UK-domiciled VC investing its own capital into high-growth tech and operating relatively independently of large institutional LP mandates.
• Balderton Capital: One of the UK's largest early- and growth-stage venture capital firms, based in London. Comparable firm of similar size that deploys institutional LP capital into UK and European technology companies and provides hands-on operational support.
• Octopus Ventures: UK venture arm of the Octopus Group, backing early- to growth-stage UK and European startups. Comparable as a UK-domiciled VC targeting high-growth companies at inflection points with a mix of direct investing and platform-building.
• Albion Capital: London-based growth and venture capital firm running multiple VCT and EIS fund structures for UK growth companies. Comparable as a UK VC/PE boutique deploying regulated fund structures alongside direct investments and operating-advisory support.
• Maven Capital Partners: UK regional private equity and venture capital manager providing growth capital, M&A advisory and operational support to UK SMEs. Highly comparable business model combining investment with corporate finance advisory services across UK regions.
• Velocity Capital Partners: European venture debt provider offering growth and venture debt facilities to technology and life-sciences companies. Closely comparable because it operates in the venture debt niche that New Model's GVPL product explicitly bridges from.

Broad incumbents

• Index Ventures: Large UK- and Switzerland-headquartered venture capital firm investing across all stages from seed to growth. A relevant incumbent peer because of its UK presence and pattern of backing both portfolio investments and broader venture platforms aimed at institutional investors.
• Oakley Capital: UK-listed private equity investor focused on growth-stage UK and European businesses. Comparable as a UK-domiciled alternative asset manager combining direct investment, corporate finance advisory and operational support for growth and advisory mandates.
• HSBC Innovation Banking (formerly HSBC Kinetic / Silicon Valley Bank UK): Major UK and European lender providing venture debt, growth capital and banking services to VC-backed technology companies. A relevant broad incumbent comparable because it competes with GVPLs at the venture debt layer and serves the same UK founder-investor ecosystem.
