Cambridge Consultants - Spin-outs

Spin-outs

Cambridge Consultants has created over twenty new ventures in the past twenty-five years, several of which have gone on to achieve listing on the London Stock Exchange, namely Domino, Xaar, Prelude Trust, CSR plc and Vivid (sold to Vectura Group). Other successful spin-offs include Alphamosaic and Inca, who have subsequently been acquired by Broadcom for US$123 million and Dainippon Screen for €43.8 million, respectively. Both sales were achieved within five years of the companies being formed.

In a new approach to venturing, Cambridge Consultants established a joint £10-million joint venture fund with the technology venture capitalist Esprit Capital Partners. The fund will be used to invest exclusively in Cambridge Consultants’ own spin-outs.
