Realise your vision with Pembroke

We are committed to helping strong management teams realise their vision for building companies. From start-ups to more mature businesses, we invest in founders and management teams we have confidence in across industries we believe have exciting growth prospects. In turn, we anticipate entrepreneurs will often seek the financial advice and operation and strategic expertise that our team can provide.

We only invest in companies where we can add value over and above simply providing capital, and where we are confident our resources and experience can be most instrumental in their growth. We are hands-on investors, providing a supportive framework and access to unparalleled talent across our Board, management team and range of industry advisors.

Founder Stories

COAT

COAT was launched in 2020 to address the issues associated with the $90bn legacy paint industry and meet the needs of a more contemporary consumer by focusing on quality, sustainability and customer experience. Taking advantage of the founders’ combined experience in the paint industry and consumer marketing business, COAT offers a range of hand-made-to-order paints with free next-day delivery.

We invested in COAT this summer (June 2021) and here we catch up with the founders, Rob and Rob, on why they bought this premium sustainable paint brand to the market.

Popsa

We caught up with Popsa founders, Liam and Tom on how they started the successful photobook app in 2016 and grew the business to a team of 50+.

Popsa is a photobook app that, through the use of proprietary machine learning algorithms, has reduced the time it takes for customers to produce photobooks from 2 hours to an average of just 6 minutes.

Plenish

Check out our interview with Plenish founder, Kara Rosen. We invested in Plenish in 2013 and sold our stake in the business in June 2021 for a 2.3x return.

We talk to Kara about how she started the successful juice and nut milk brand and her challenges along the way.

ME+EM

Check out our interview with ME+EM founder, Clare Hornby. The successful womenswear brand founder and mother of two talks about where she gets her inspiration from for her collections, how she incorporates family life into the brand and what it’s been like to work with Pembroke over the years.

LYMA

In 2018 LYMA launched the world’s most advanced nutraceutical, heralding a new era for the supplement industry. We caught up with co-founders Simon and Lucy Goff who both founded the business with an aspiration to develop a luxury wellness brand. The company worked closely with industry experts and the world’s leading nutritional scientists, combining intensive R&D with the latest technological advances to produce a unique and high-quality, evidence-based nutritional supplement.
