About Whitespace
WHAT WE DO
Our Belief
We believe there are four pillars of every successful business; product fit, route to market, access to finance and decision making. We address each of these pillars through our various products, joint ventures and services we offer.
OUR TECH
Colinked
We're building Colinked to help founders develop strong routes to market. Colinked addresses the challenge that many corporates have in finding and engaging with well qualified and pre-vetted startups. The traditional way that Corporates do this is by a blend of talent scouts, accelerators, incubators, competitions and VC networks. Fuse will provide an online platform for Corporates and referred startups to better connect in one place and, through the use of AI and ML, also allow Corporates to have a much more efficient and richer experience in completing their search.
​
Colinked Capital
Colinked.Capital is a white label solution to better enable high quality and well qualified (largely by Corporates or Investors) tech scale up and growth companies to raise equity finance from professional investors. The Whitespace platform has also been built to help founders get investment ready quicker with a sufficient level of due diligence in place.
​
eamli
We built eamli, a tool to significantly drive down the cost and time required by SME’s to complete financial forecast, financial Due Diligence and company valuations. Using the power of Cloud compute and a machine learning platform EAMLI is targeted at both Accountancy firms as a white label product but also at Founders as a Whitespace branded tool. The professional version of EAMLI is due for launch in Q3, 2018. The Founder version is due for launch in Q4, 2018.

OUR COMMUNITIES
Whitespace Innovation Clubs
We have developed a community of technology scale-ups, large global corporates and the professional investors. We engage with these three communities 1:1 but also via three Clubs that we facilitate and run.
The Whitespace Corporate Innovation Club is a community of over 100 international and global corporate brands as well as NGOs and
government bodies – organisations that share a passion and interest in using an open innovation approach to help create new, different
experiences and revenue models. The Founder Innovation Club has nearly 70 tech scale-up teams that have all been referred by Corporates. The Investor Innovation Club is our most recent community having only been launched in February 2018. However, the Club has already grown to over 60 Sophisticated and Professional investors and investment groups.
The purpose of our Whitespace community programme is to help Corporates, Founders and Investors Connect, Learn and Collaborate.
OUR STORY
How We Got Here
In 2014, Whitespace started as a VC firm founded by a team of former hackers and financial advisors. We would invest exclusively into startups who were able to address the challenges our corporate partners faced. Through working with our startups to make their technology 'enterprise friendly', we developed a world class tech team able to build scalable products used by global clients.
​
Since 2016, we closed our fund and began to focus on our ability to develop software. We've kept our strong corporate partnerships alive through our communities and are currently in the process of developing our own internal products to help founders scale and grow their own companies.
