VENTURE CAPITAL PORTFOLIO PRACTICE

Practice Overview

Gillamor Stephens has served the European venture capital markets since 1998, building the executive and non-executive management teams for hundreds of early stage technology companies.

We have built an excellent track record of success supporting companies as diverse as small University spinouts to strengthening Board teams in preparation for an IPO. We have addressed a breadth of technologies that encompasses everything from digital media, consumer devices and enterprise software through to battery technology, advanced materials and fabless semiconductors.

We feel our success has been achieved because of:
  • Our proven ability to evangelise disruptive technology to a sceptical audience
  • Our ability to deliver truly global searches through Access Search Partners and their operations in North America and Asia Pacific
  • Our transparent approach to the hiring process – weekly assignment updates and review calls with all clients
  • A commitment to succeed – we recognise that if we fail, so does our reputation.
We have the ability to:
  • Assess internal teams and compare with external benchmarks, assessing areas of development
  • Provide psychometric assessment of candidates to provide further data points
  • Assemble compelling and definitive shortlists of motivated and relevant people
  • Make hires that make a clear difference and contribution
