Eos is a company that supports founders by investing in innovation in science, engineering and technology, aiming to improve quality of life, make agriculture and aquaculture more sustainable, mitigate climate change, and find new energy solutions.

Eos is focused on providing seed funding to ventures based upon strong and innovative science, technology and engineering. We commit to supporting them through their early development and on to their next stage of growth funding, at which point we will work with strategic investors to maximise the growth as well as the exit potential.

What an amazing week for portfolio company Carcinotech Ltd and founder Ishani Malhotra - winning Best EIS Investee Company in the UK and Entrepreneur of the Year at the Enterprise Investment Scheme Association (EISA)Awards at the UK House of Lords.

We couldn't be more proud of Ishani and her team, having worked with her since long before her seed stage, through 2 stages of investment and growth, as they now scale sales and international partnerships.  

Chapeau!  Take the weekend off!!

Building on the Pathways Report by Ana Stewart and Mark Logan, to help create better diversity and inclusion in the Scottish investment ecosystem, Eos committed to a series of actions, which form our Pathways Pledge. 
 
One of these actions is to host events around Knowledge Share, to improve accessibility of investment, aimed at those less familiar with early-stage. So far, we have welcomed over 40 guests to the first of these in Edinburgh and Glasgow and look forward to similar events across other Scottish cities. It has been fantastic to see so many influential women and men engaging in these conversations, as the whole purpose of Pathways Forward is to drive more female participation across early-stage entrepreneurship and investing. 
 
Investing into Scottish seed stage science and technologies addressing global issues around healthcare and environmental sustainability is incredibly interesting and potentially worthwhile. Backing first time entrepreneurs and female founders is also fundamentally important for a thriving economy.  
 
We chose not to make these events open to the public, as this stage and focus of investment is not for everyone, however, we are sharing that these events are happening to support others involved in the investment ecosystem and be open about the importance of creating a more inclusive and entrepreneurial society.

How do you turn a bold idea into reality? How do you deliver when things get really hard? 

Mark Beaumont might be the expert on this. Anyone can come up with an idea and anyone can talk about performing at a high level. But Mark Beaumont has delivered on both. He holds the world-record for cycling around the world and has now turned his considerable skills to being a venture capital investor. But that is only part of his remarkable story, which also includes capsizing in the Atlantic Ocean, making documentaries for the BBC and writing books. 

This episode of Business Leader is a story about endurance, setting new standards and getting things done.
