We support brilliant UK based automation, artificial intelligence and robotics businesses 

Britbots-backed businesses build productivity-enhancing automation technologies which allow scarce resources to last longer.


As global consumption levels continue to rise, our work addresses core areas of global scarcity, in particular: shortages of skilled labour; the transition away from fossil-fuels; supply chain inefficiencies; and depleting natural resources.


Automation technology has become less expensive, more capable and widespread.  Companies developing technologies in this area are already growing rapidly. As scarcities intensify, this growth will continue to accelerate and be a source of enduring returns for investors.


Our expertise and reputation within automation technologies give us access to the best opportunities in this area. We work closely with each of our client companies to help them maximise their potential.
