Sprout secures £800k in pre-seed funding from family offices and angels to scale its platform.

Sprout has secured £800k in pre-seed funding from a group of angel investors and family offices to scale its platform. The business, which launched in late 2021, has already partnered with notable venture capital firms and built a community of over 500 private investors. The capital will support continued expansion as the company works to open access to asset classes traditionally restricted by high investment minimums.

Founded by private market specialists Jonny Blausten, Daniel Lehmann, and Rich Abrahams, the London startup bridges the gap between underserved investors and top-tier funds. With entry points starting at £5k, the platform enables participants to build diversified portfolios in private markets. The latest financing will accelerate the firm's growth trajectory following a successful first year of operations.
