Maven Cognition Launches New EIS Fund for UK Tech Sector

Maven Cognition, a subsidiary of Maven Capital Partners, has introduced the Maven Cognition EIS Fund. This development follows Maven's strategic acquisition of Newable Ventures in April 2024, enhancing its standing as a leading UK investor in high-growth sectors. The fund is designed for experienced investors aiming to capitalize on small to medium tech enterprises in the UK, focusing on transformative industries such as Advanced Robotics, AI, Cyber Security, and Quantum Computing. Open until April 2025 with a minimum investment of £25,000, the fund targets a 3x return through diversified investments. Maven Cognition draws on extensive experience in early-stage investments, highlighted by its established networks with local businesses, universities, and industry clusters. Additionally, the fund's structure benefits from the UK Enterprise Investment Scheme, offering significant tax advantages including income tax relief and capital gains tax deferral and exemption. This launch is particularly timely given the recent extension of EIS tax reliefs until 2035, allowing the fund to address increasing investor interest in growth-focused, tax-efficient vehicles amid changing tax landscapes.
