Proactive delivers up-to-the-minute multimedia news, commentary and analysis on hundreds of small-cap listed companies and pre-IPO businesses across the globe, 24/7. The team also organises investor conferences, delivers websites and website tools for listed companies, and compiles sell-side research.

Investment rationale

We invested £3.3m of development capital, backing Proactive to take its services into the US, which is the largest global market with over 7,500 addressable customers and an active retail investor base.

Shortly after receiving our funding, Proactive opened its US office in Midtown New York. The capital is also helping the company expand in other international markets including Australia and Canada and to further promote its recently launched investor tools and sell-side research offer to customers in the UK
