Download FPE: Success through focus
Last year, we unveiled our refreshed brand identity, marking an exciting new chapter for FPE. The change extended beyond updating the logo and colour palette; it signified a company-wide evolution underscoring our dedication as an investment firm established to be a platform for the founders and managers of UK and Irish software, data, and software services companies to achieve their ambitions.
Our singular focus on a select group of software companies, many of which have received minimal or no external capital to date, drives our 'success through focus'. By concentrating our efforts and resources, we consistently and successfully identify, fund, scale, and support companies as they navigate the next stage of their journey. This transformative phase, which we call 'second-stage growth', involves a renewed emphasis on investing in people, products, and processes.
