Btomorrow Ventures

Hello! We are Btomorrow Ventures (BTV) - the corporate venture fund of BAT that looks to invest in companies helping to create A Better Tomorrow™. Established in early 2020, we made our first investment later that year. To date we have invested in more than 25 dynamic companies, with three successful exits. When it comes to the companies we invest in, we have a pretty broad remit, from early stage seed rounds to pre-IPO; and from BioTech & Science to Technology; Wellbeing & Stimulation and Environmental Social Governance. As a corporate venture fund we can offer our start-ups expertise and access to global marketing in 180+ countries; 11m+ points of sale; world class legal capabilities (e.g. regulatory & IP etc.); Six Sigma techniques plus portfolio support and accelerator programmes. We're a friendly team at BTV. Between us we have vast experience and expertise in venture capital; funding and scaling start-ups; creative strategy; legal; mentoring and all the usual investment and finance stuff. Do follow us, we think you'll be interested in what we have to say!  #venturecapital #funding #startups

We’re proud to be an official sponsor of Clapham Feelers! What a great weekend for the team!

Have you seen Btomorrow Ventures's Investment Principal, Alexandra (Lexy) Prosszer, and Aisha Chottani, founder and CEO of functional beverage brand Moment | Drink Your Meditation - one of BTV's portfolio companies - talk all things CVC, investment, brand-building and more, at BevNET.com Live in California last winter? Lexy talks about investment from the CVC side - how important it is to work closely with founders and be there for them, and how BTV offers strategic support and guidance to help accelerate growth and success for our portfolio companies such as Moment. She also shines a spotlight on Binspired, BTV's community for entrepreneurs and thought-leaders everywhere. Equally enlightening, Aisha sheds light on the importance of the founder/CVC relationship from her point of view - that of start-up founder and CEO.    The discussion was hosted by Ray Latif, editor and producer of Taste Radio, BevNET's podcast that explores beverage, food and beer with the industries' leaders, innovators and rising stars, at BevNET Live Winter 2023.

What are the top five trends in corporate venturing in 2024? Global Corporate Venturing (GCV) has the answer in its recent article, below, and it's a must-read. One of 2024's trends is 'injecting big company ideas into start-ups' which is when corporates, such as Btomorrow Ventures, can give start-ups advice on how to operate as a larger company. The article references 👨🔬 Boris Hodakel Hodakel, CEO of our portfolio company, Feel - Wellness, Reimagined, who praised the help we gave his functional supplements brand on financial planning and modelling. GCV notes that, although due diligence by corporate investors may sometimes be longer and more onerous than that done by our VC counterparts, a CVC investor can often leave a start-up more scalable and investment-ready. The article also lists partnerships between CVCs and VCs, and the growing interest in corporate venture building, among this year's top trends. #GCVSymposium2024 #CorporateVentureCapital #BtomorrowVentures

What's the real story of a packaging redesign? Why - and how - does a company change the visual identity of a successful product? We asked Tru founder and CEO, Jack McNamara, about Tru's new-look seltzer cans and got a fascinating behind-the-scenes insight into how a start-up goes about the process of a packaging makeover. We delved into everything from the art and science of product design, to going against the flow, and the ‘three second rule’ of customer attraction...

How does a team from BAT tackle the the world’s largest corporate running event? With support from BTV's portfolio companies Feel - Wellness, Reimagined and FlexSea (as seen on our branded running shirts, pictured) and Tru (those Tru Energy shots sure did hit the spot). ⚡️⁠ ⁠ The 36th J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge recently saw 30,000 participants, 6,500 runners and 326 companies - including a 22-strong team from BAT - cover a 5.6km mixed-terrain run through London's Battersea Park.⁠ ⁠ A great day was had by all, and we reckon we definitely won gold with our team kit! 🏅⁠ ⁠⁠ #JPMCC #JPMCorporateChallenge
