We create game-changing skin, home, hair and body care by amplifying the natural world and pioneering biodesign in our packaging solutions. We are driven by trying to solve the waste problem by using natural waste resources in our products, or presenting packaging solutions to our community that are fully recyclable or compostable. We use seaweed as the base for all of our products. That seaweed is picked by hand in Margate, UK. Why seaweed? Seaweed hydrates; it’s rich with valuable vitamins, minerals and amino acids; it’s anti-bacterial, skin rebuilding and anti-inflammatory; it’s all natural, and all around us. Under licence, we harvest it by hand from the beach steps away from our shop. What drives us forward is doing things differently and always evolving. What started in Margate is now sold the world over. We’re afraid to stand still. Everything we do has to have a reason to exist whilst honouring our ocean-first philosophy.

At Collinear Capital, we’re redefining how enterprise technology thrives by unlocking the untapped potential of individual consultants, systems integrators, and enterprise technologists. These professionals sit at the heart of the symbiotic relationship between enterprise technology companies, consulting firms, and enterprise customers—a relationship we call the Enterprise Tech Equation. We believe innovation flourishes when technology product companies and consultants work together, but traditionally, the wealth generated from these innovations has been inaccessible to the very people implementing and adopting these solutions. We’re changing that. Our firm empowers individual consultants and technologists to invest in what they know best: enterprise B2B startups. By pooling their expertise and capital, these investors gain access to opportunities typically reserved for institutional funds. In return, our portfolio companies benefit from the wisdom and networks of industry experts, ensuring they can: Attract top talent through expert recommendations and direct involvement. Navigate new markets and develop targeted product features with hands-on advisory support. Build and strengthen critical partnerships with consulting and systems integration firms. We focus on Series A and B enterprise B2B startups with proven traction and scaling potential. Our engaged community of investors doesn’t just commit capital—they contribute their knowledge and experience, providing a unique edge in deal sourcing, evaluation, and portfolio company success. We’re more than a venture capital firm. We’re a community of experts driving the future of enterprise technology—and sharing in the success we help create.
