About Us About Us

Bringing together the best of two Northern investors.

Par Equity and Praetura Ventures have merged to become PXN Ventures. We're combining our businesses, bringing together decades of experience and fusing our expansive networks, reach and capabilities to build a world-class investor for the North.

PXN will champion the North of England, Northern Ireland and Scotland's investment ecosystem and wider economy. PXN believes in better support for founders, advisers, investors, and institutions.

Delivering at scale, we can build bigger and better businesses for the North.


That’s an odd thing for a VC to say. But it’s true. Money alone doesn’t lead to success, which is why it’s only a small part of our support.


Our wider offering can be summed up in three simple words – more than money...

This belief drives everything we do. Whether that’s investor updates that go deeper into our ground-breaking portfolio companies. Or founder support from our operational partners – senior figures who have joined us from Apple, The Co-op, AO, Social Chain and OSTC.

Take it from a leading VC that knows there’s more to fuelling success than giving money, we do venture capital the way it should be done.
