The team’s dedication to partnering with ambitious entrepreneurs and driving growth aligns perfectly with my experience and passion for supporting UK businesses. What set Agathos apart is its strong values and culture of collaboration, which is embedded in the way the team interacts with investors, management teams and the Corporate Finance community.”

His experience in the UK SME space, particularly in the sectors we target, will strengthen our investment capabilities and further our mission to support ambitious entrepreneurs. Ben’s arrival is another exciting step in Agathos’s continued growth as we deploy our second fund. With our recent platform investments in Plowman Craven and Lexxic and with plans to raise a Fund III in 2025, this is an exciting time for Agathos, and we are absolutely delighted that Ben has chosen to join the team.”
