Investment & strategic partnerships
We welcome open partnership enquiries and investment conversations about specific businesses. The first step is understanding the opportunity, the people and what each side can contribute.
For investors
We are open to conversations with private equity, family offices, investment funds and strategic investors. Each discussion should focus on a defined business, its current evidence and a clear use of capital.
Start an investment enquiry ↗For strategic partners
Bring a route to market, complementary technology, production expertise or operating experience. We want to understand how a collaboration would make the business stronger, not just how it would be described.
Discuss a partnership ↗For brand partners
A separate commercial opportunity for a brand interested in a venue naming relationship. Audience evidence, available rights and objectives would shape the proposal.

For JJR, an investment discussion starts with more than an amount of money. It starts with the business, the people, the evidence and the capabilities a partner can add.
How conversations begin
Identify the business or project, your organisation and the contribution you could make. An investment mandate or sector focus helps frame the discussion.
We establish the relevant legal entity, ownership, proposed structure and the questions that need answering. Confidential information can be considered under an appropriate agreement.
Any substantive proposal needs business-specific diligence: financial information, management, customers, intellectual-property rights, risks and a credible development plan.
A clear starting point
Jonathan’s EV story is relevant founder experience, not a guarantee that another venture will achieve the same result. Emerging technology projects should be assessed against their own test evidence, funding requirements and risks.
This website provides corporate information and invites introductory discussions. It is not an offer to subscribe for securities, a prospectus, investment advice or a statement of available investment terms.
We do not publish target returns, fundraising amounts or valuations here. Any eventual transaction would be subject to diligence, appropriate advice and definitive agreements.
