Ed Prior, SFC Capital EIS & SEIS funds
We talk to Ed Prior, chief investment officer at SFC Capital (formerly known as Startup Funding Club), about their SEIS fund – which is exclusive to Wealth Club on a non-advised basis – and their Angel EIS fund, which makes follow-on investments in selected companies from the seed fund.

What sort of companies do they select? How do they find them? How involved are they in the companies post-investment? How risky is it? What exits have they had to date? And how are adverse economic conditions affecting the portfolio? Watch the interview to find out…
