Talis Capital
Talis Capital is a London multi-family office founded in 2009 that invests at Seed and Series A across Europe and the US.
Talis Capital
Talis Capital was established in 2009 by Bob Finch and Rohini Finch, both previously oil traders at Vitol, together with Vasile Foca and Matus Maar. The firm functions as a multi-family office serving several families from its base in London. Its structure reflects the founders' trading backgrounds and their subsequent focus on private capital allocation. The office commits across growth equity, Seed and Series A stages through direct co-investments and SPVs. Confirmed holdings include positions in The Graph, Immortal Game and Cygnet Agroholding. Asset classes span venture capital, private equity and real assets. Activity covers Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. Geographic reach supports diversification while the firm retains a London-centric decision process. The team comprises the four named founders. An additional office operates in Mayfair. Talis Capital holds membership in YPO through Vasile Foca and maintains a corporate affiliation with Imperial Business Partners. The Finch Family Foundation sits alongside the investment vehicle. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The office's sourcing model rests on the founders' prior trading networks and sector relationships rather than broad fund commitments. This produces a hybrid posture that blends family-office discretion with venture-style deal selection. Governance remains concentrated among the four principals.
