    At Octopus Ventures we invest in the people, the ideas and the industries that will help change the world. Our investment team is built to specialise in the five areas where we see the most potential for growth and innovation: B2B software, health, fintech, deep tech and consumer. Since 2008 we have backed over 130 teams, including Zoopla Property Group, Secret Escapes, Depop and Cazoo. With £1.7 billion under management and investing over £200 million a year, Octopus Ventures is one of the largest and most active venture investors in Europe. We tend to invest from £1 million for Seed to £20 million for Series B with the ability to fund the companies backed right through to IPO.
