Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose all your money. These are high-risk investments and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong.
Britbots invests in productivity-enhancing automation technologies which allow scarce resources to last longer.
As global consumption levels continue to rise, our investments address core areas of global scarcity, in particular: shortages of skilled labour; the transition away from fossil-fuels; supply chain inefficiencies; and depleting natural resources.
Automation technology has become less expensive, more capable and widespread. Companies developing technologies in this area are already growing rapidly. As scarcities intensify, this growth will continue to accelerate and be a source of enduring returns for investors.
Our expertise and reputation within automation technologies give us access to the best opportunities in this area. We work closely with our investing clients to ensure their needs are met, particularly with respect to SEIS/EIS tax-optimisation. Once invested, we work closely with each of our portfolio companies to help them maximise their potential.
