You've built the product. Now win enterprise.
We back B2B founders with the C-level introductions, channel relationships and on-the-ground UK expertise to turn a great product into a scalable enterprise business.
At Arx Ventures we invest at seed stage into UK Cyber Security, with first-hand experience of building, scaling and selling technology businesses into the UK. What sets us apart is not capital. It is decades of channel relationships, an understanding of go-to-market strategy and a network of enterprise buyers built over careers at the sharp end of UK technology distribution.
We have done this ourselves. We know what a good early enterprise sales hire looks like, how to structure a first partnership agreement and which accelerators, events and advisors are actually worth your time. For founders, our hands-on knowledge of how to build and scale a technology business in the UK is a genuine competitive advantage we bring to every investment.
B2B enterprise technology is all we do. Our network spans hundreds of enterprise buyers, IT directors, CISOs, CTOs and procurement decision-makers, across UK corporates. For a seed-stage founder, a warm introduction to the right enterprise buyer is often worth more than any amount of capital. We can make those introductions. We have spent years earning the right to do so.
We have relationships across the UK channel — distributors, vendors and resellers — built over decades. We have structured partnership agreements, managed VAR relationships and helped technology businesses navigate the commercial dynamics of selling into large UK enterprises. For a founder who has built a great product but has not yet cracked enterprise distribution, we can materially change their commercial trajectory.
“Rob and Maarten opened doors in the UK channel that we could not have accessed on our own. Within three months we had conversations with enterprise accounts we had been trying to reach for two years.”
“These guys won't just write a cheque. They know exactly who to call and how to position you. Our UK expansion moved faster than any market we had entered before.”
“What sets Rob and Maarten apart is the credibility they brought with them. Enterprise buyers in the UK trusted us immediately because of who made the introduction.”
