Force Over Mass Capital

The firm states it backs “contrarian founders” and that its team has direct experience building technology, which implies a network-driven sourcing model centered on operator relationships rather than purely auction-based deal flow. It does not disclose proprietary sourcing channels or formal scouting programs.

Force Over Mass operates at least two distinct fund structures. The EIS Fund targets UK individual investors seeking tax relief and carries the explicit high-risk warnings mandated by the FCA. Separately, the firm markets a fund aimed at pension funds, promoting shorter lock-up periods and governance mechanisms that it claims make venture capital compatible with traditional institutional allocation frameworks.

No. The firm’s stated mandate covers seed, start-up, expansion and late-stage growth rounds, secondaries, complex situations, and pre-IPO investments. This breadth allows it to follow portfolio companies through later rounds and to acquire secondary positions from early stakeholders.

Force Over Mass has not publicly disclosed total assets under management, fund-by-fund sizes, or detailed historical returns. Its website mentions an average IRR and portfolio survival rate but provides no supporting data points. No regulatory filings confirming these metrics are referenced in available public sources.

The firm does not publicly name its principals, investment committee members, or deal-team leaders on its website or in the scraped materials. This lack of disclosed leadership makes independent reference checks difficult for prospective limited partners.

The mandatory risk warning displayed on the firm’s website applies specifically to the EIS Fund — a vehicle marketed to retail investors who can lose their entire investment. The institutional fund is described separately and positioned with governance features intended to make it suitable for pension funds, though its own risk disclosures are not publicly detailed on the current website.

Based on its London headquarters, UK-focused EIS structure, and description of backing early-stage technology businesses, the firm’s investment activity is understood to concentrate on the United Kingdom and Europe. Materials do not explicitly rule out or confirm selective activity in other regions.
