Wealth Club
Description
Wealth Club is a prominent UK-based online investment service, specifically designed for high net worth (HNW) and sophisticated investors. Founded in 2016 by former directors and senior employees of Hargreaves Lansdown, it operates as a platform that connects qualified individual investors with private investment opportunities, primarily in unquoted growth companies. Unlike a traditional venture capital fund that deploys capital from its own balance sheet, Wealth Club aggregates funds from its network of private investors, often facilitating investments through tax-efficient structures such as EIS (Enterprise Investment Scheme), SEIS (Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme), and VCTs (Venture Capital Trusts).
Since its inception, Wealth Club has established itself as a significant facilitator of private capital in the UK. The platform has successfully helped companies raise over $1.25 billion (equivalent to over £1 billion) in funding across more than 150 deals. Their focus is on high-growth businesses seeking capital rounds typically ranging from $1.25 million to $25 million (equivalent to £1 million to £20 million). Wealth Club conducts thorough due diligence on all opportunities before presenting them to its investor base, ensuring a curated selection of potential investments across various sectors, including technology, healthcare, and consumer brands.
Wealth Club's model provides a unique pathway for qualified individual investors to access private market deals that might otherwise be out of reach. For investors utilizing the platform, the typical minimum investment amount often starts from approximately $6,250 (equivalent to £5,000), though this can vary depending on the specific deal. While there isn't a fixed upper limit, individual contributions from sophisticated investors can range significantly, often extending into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and for some compelling opportunities, even exceeding $1.25 million. This aggregated investment approach enables promising companies to secure substantial funding rounds from a diverse and engaged pool of private capital.
