NearSt’s mission is to get people back into high street shops. Our retail tech platform makes shops’ in-store inventory data visible to the internet, so that anyone anywhere can see what’s in stock in their local shop. Companies like Google and Facebook use our technology to show live in-store inventory on their platforms to millions of shoppers searching nearby, sending online shoppers into physical stores. The world of retail is changing dramatically, and shoppers are going online to find products offline, locally more than ever. At NearSt we all share a common vision that what we’re building will define the future of how everyone shops, and get people all around the world back into high street shops.

The Bayes Entrepreneurship Fund is a £15 million venture capital fund, investing in early-stage, high-growth businesses. Entrepreneurs of all backgrounds will be considered for funding, not only graduates of Bayes Business School (formerly Cass). Businesses must have some revenue traction, and will have typically received a first round of concept-stage or seed funding. Initial investments range in size from £250,000 to £1,000,000, depending on the stage of business development, the funding structure, and the overall finance requirements of the investee company. Given our background and networks, we tend to be more focussed on B2B businesses, but have previously backed successful management teams in the B2C space, and remain open to such opportunities. The Cass Entrepreneurship Fund can act as a sole investor or as a lead or minority co-investor with other institutions, funds or private angel investors. We will typically circle a level of funds for follow-on investment rounds, which will be considered on a case by case basis as the company grows. The Fund has a cross-sector investment remit, but requires that businesses are headquartered in the UK.
