We started GRAFT with the aim of taking on the early stage venture industry and bringing a new approach to seed round growth. The business has expanded in numerous unexpected ways and the last 12 months have changed the game for what we are aiming to achieve with GRAFT. As we expand out the team in the years ahead and grow our media business, we are looking forward to adding more great businesses to the roster and building our in-house team. 

 

Our portfolio has grown significantly over the last 12 months, with over £7 million of organic growth within the businesses. We have focused our investments on businesses that complement the existing portfolio. This quite simply is the Graft way, we look for complementary and crossover skills that enable us to deliver efficiency for all businesses within the group. 

​

Our businesses have been relatively well protected from recent economic fluctuations. Supply chains were, however, hit by the war in the Ukraine. Whilst we have had two of our tracker holdings businesses enter administration, the core portfolio have continued to show strong growth. Business growth is stalled due to the slow down in equity availability, however, this is a cross-market issue.
