605% TOTAL GROWTH FOR THE FORTUNIS UK IMPACT VC FUND
Leading UK Venture Capital Fund, managed under the Fortunis brand, has reported an uplift to 605% from 566% last month. This increase jumps the total portfolio valuation to £335mln.

This uplift in valuation comes from increased ownership of the portfolio, and milestones being reached ahead of schedule by the portfolio companies.

The VC Fund Manager, Justin MacRae, said; ‘This increase is certainly cause for celebration, but behind the scenes is the direct result of our team of investment managers that truly practice active portfolio management, enabling our investments to exceed their ambitions.’

The portfolio remains on track, and the Fund remains highly focused on realising the Grant Thornton validated potential of a post £1bln total valuation for exit.

Menopause can be a stressful period for many women, partially due to hormonal changes and disruptive symptoms like hot flushes, disturbed sleep and mood swings. To better support women along their menopause journey, No7 has partnered with Clementine, an innovative cognitive hypnotherapy app, hailed....

Fortunis Capital Investee Clementine - the UK’s leading female focussed hypnotherapy app have signed a deal with Boots No.7.

A first in the industry, this exciting new partnership seeks to disrupt the multi billion pound health and beauty sector.

The new initiative tackles the global menopause market (with a size valued at USD 15.4 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.29% from 2022 to 2030) by producing a series of mind powered rituals matched with dedicated No.7 products to produce proven results - with 71% of users stating “after doing the ritual their skin has never felt better” and 89% stating “they felt more positive about the day ahead” .

“We are beyond excited to partner with the UK’s No 1 skincare brand to create a disrup;ve new way for women to engage with skincare in a way that will truly leave them feeling beAer in themselves”, says Kim Palmer, founder of Clementine.
“We’ve been working with No7 since Nov 2020 when we pitched an idea on how we could help women take self care off their to do lists. An idea that would bring together two very different worlds - skincare and therapy. An idea that would make looking aMer their mindset a daily ritual not a daily chore. Would make it so easy for women to actually enjoy doing this and not just endure.”
“As a female-led team, we want to partner with brands to further our mission ‘to create a world where every woman believes she can do anything she puts her mind to’. To do that, we need to take self-care off to-do lists and build it into the products and services that women consume every day.
“We’re excited to be building new skincare solu;ons and experiences that will have a las;ng impact on women’s skin, and their confidence.”

Not only is Clementine partnering with B2B’s to offer physical benefits to users, it is now positioning itself as a leading player in brand wellness consultancy - an area that is often over looked in corporate institutions.

Alongside the No.7 contract, Clementine has recently been revealed as one of “The Health Tech World Top 50 Innovators of 2022” (https://www.htworld.co.uk/featured/health-tech-world-top-top-50-innovators-of-2022/) and has been selected by Glaxo Smith Kline - the Global Biopharma to work within their wellness Innovation programme. Clementine has also partnered with Buggaboo - a leading UK push chair retailer to create the industry’s first “mind powered walking club”, and the App has recently achieved ORCHA approval for use in the NHS.

A huge congratulations to Kim & her team >

Fortunis Capital has been accepted into the Armed Forces Covenant.

Fortunis Capitals COO Sir Andrew Ross Bt, comments “In Fortunis, we are both delighted and privileged to be officially supporting the Armed Forces Covenant. The Covenant recognises the commitment and sacrifice our service men and women have made, and continue to make, on behalf of us all here in the United Kingdom. We feel – strongly – that the very least we can do in turn is recognise them. Whilst half our team itself comprises military veterans, we are always looking for further opportunities to support, employ, coach or just encourage veterans and service-leavers, as well as related military charities and other support organisations. Supporting technical and scientific innovation here in the UK sits at the heart of Fortunis; this Covenant reinforces this with our support to this Country’s Armed Forces.”

The Covenant supports serving personnel, service leavers, veterans, and their families, and is fulfilled by the different groups that have committed to making a difference.

These include:

Central government, overseen by the Ministerial Covenant and Veterans Board
Single Services (Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force)
Businesses of all sizes
Local government
Charities
Communities
Cadet forces and their adult volunteers

To those who proudly protect our nation, who do so with honour, courage, and commitment, the Armed Forces Covenant is the nation’s commitment to you.

It is a pledge that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives.
