Every company was a start-up at one stage. Tom Britton is the cofounder Syndicate Room, a fund that invests in startups. Tom grew up in Los Angeles and, thanks to his Scottish-born father, was always interested in trying to make a career out of playing football. He moved to Edinburgh in 2006 to pursue this goal and played in the lower leagues for three years, during which he added two league titles to his collection.

"When you're investing in startups, you're effectively waiting for the company to either sell out or list on a market or go bust, which is how it works with startups."

Syndicate Room is an innovative fintech company made up of data-scientists, investment professionals and marketers. They have indexed the startup market in and track several million data points. Their data has led to the development of a co-investment fund that deploys alongside a group of “Super Angel” investors who, at a minimum, achieve ~30% year on year portfolio. A relatively young company but fast-growing, their investment portfolio is diverse and impressive.
