Shaping The Built Environment.
A pre-seed investor dedicated to transforming the Built Environment
We're a dedicated pre-seed investor, investing in British technology companies focused on the Built Environment. As a first-cheque investor, we will lead your first funding round, providing essential financing support that extends all the way to Series-A. In addition to our capital, we will help unlock commercial opportunities for your business. JDBi doesn’t just knock on doors, we bang them down. We will go the extra mile, where most people stop at the finish line.
