Based in Newcastle and Darlington, Northstar Ventures is a venture capital firm with over £95m under management.

Northstar Ventures has been inspiring local entrepreneurs and social enterprises with financial backing since being founded in 2004. It works alongside management teams in new and emerging organisations across the North East to help them develop and grow.

Its approach to investment is straightforward: it looks for strong teams with great ideas.

If that’s you, and you could benefit from funding and support, please contact one of Northstar Ventures’ experienced investment managers.
