A company that aims to give founders an unfair advantage, to take them from where they are to where they want to be.

Playfair

Redbus is involved in backing entrepreneurs and managing a venture portfolio. Self-described as entrepreneurs, they support other entrepreneurs.

Redbus

Playfair is a generalist fund with a contrarian approach to pre-seed technology investing. Based in London, Playfair invests across the UK and Europe with an intentionally high conviction, low volume approach: making 6-8 investments a year and preserving time, capital and resource to help companies post-investment. Playfair has backed 70+ companies across two funds including Thought Machine, Andela, Mapillary, Recycleye and Orca AI.

If you are looking to automate codebase maintenance, reach out to Jack and the team who are hiring and accepting early customers into a closed beta!
