REGIONALLY

What REGIONALLY does

Regionally Ventures is a UK-based investment advisory and deal facilitation firm founded in 2023 to address the funding gap facing regional businesses outside London. Its core offering is "The Regional Way," a proprietary investment-readiness methodology that prepares founders by refining their proposition, structure, scalability, pitch deck, and financial projections before introducing them to the firm's network of investors, which includes family offices, high net worth individuals, and angel investors.

The firm operates a two-sided model: on one side, it delivers advisory services to high-growth regional UK businesses (with a stated focus on diversity and women-led ventures); on the other, it curates and presents "ready-to-grow" investment opportunities to its investor network, reducing perceived risk through pre-screening. In 2025 it productized part of this offering via the Start Up Summer Programme (£1,500 + VAT full programme, £300 + VAT single call), broadening access beyond bespoke mandates. The firm has aligned with the UK Government's Power and Partnership strategy and is actively pursuing defence and dual-use technology verticals.

Regionally Ventures is headquartered in Euxton, Chorley, Lancashire, and operates exclusively in the UK domestic market. It has 11-50 employees, is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds, and is led by CEO Jim Odell with co-founder and chairman Justin Urquhart Stewart. There are no technology products, AI capabilities, or platform architecture — the entire value proposition is delivered through human-led advisory and relationship management.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Fuel Ventures: Fuel Ventures is a UK-based early-stage venture fund that invests in technology startups, including regional ones. It is comparable as a more institutionalised UK early-stage investor that competes for the same founder base Regionally serves.

Direct peers

• Envestors: Envestors is a UK private investment platform connecting early-stage businesses with angel investors and funds. It is comparable in operating a curated, regulated intermediation model for UK SME and early-stage equity raises.
• Angels Den: Angels Den is a UK angel network that connects investors with early-stage businesses, including a focus on EIS-qualifying deals. It competes with Regionally for the same family office, HNW, and angel investor audience seeking curated UK deal flow.
• SFC Capital: SFC Capital is a UK early-stage investor (SEIS/EIS) and accelerator that actively works with founders to prepare them for investment. It is comparable in its preparation-led, founder-facing approach and in deploying capital into UK early-stage companies, often outside the traditional London core.
• SyndicateRoom: SyndicateRoom is a UK online platform that pools angel money into early-stage equity rounds. It is comparable to Regionally as an intermediation layer between founders and a network of UK angel/retail investors, though it operates a more tech-led model.
• Worth Capital: Worth Capital operates EIS/SEIS fund models that deploy capital into early-stage UK businesses, including regional ones. It is comparable because it both curates and finances investment-ready UK companies, competing for the same investor and founder audiences as Regionally.
• ClearlySo: ClearlySo is a UK impact-focused investment intermediary that matches mission-driven businesses with impact investors. It is comparable to Regionally's mission-driven (regional, women-led) approach and its role as a curated capital-raising intermediary.
• SeedLegals: SeedLegals is a UK-based platform that helps startups get investment-ready through standardised legal documents, cap table management, and funding rounds. It overlaps directly with Regionally's investment-readiness focus, but competes from a tech-enabled, self-serve angle rather than a relationship-led advisory one.

Emerging players

• Crowdfunder: Crowdfunder is a UK crowdfunding and alternative finance platform that helps SMEs raise capital from a broad base of backers. It is comparable as a UK-focused capital-raising intermediary, though it operates in a different asset class (rewards/debt/equity crowdfunding) from Regionally's angel and family office flow.
• Startup Coalition: Startup Coalition is a UK advocacy and support body for early-stage founders, referenced by Regionally for data on female founder funding. It is comparable as an ecosystem enabler and a source of regional founder pipelines, though it does not deploy capital itself.
