Disruptors

Entrepreneurs, not fund managers

From selling mobile phones from the boot of a car to turning it into the success story of Carphone Warehouse, TalkTalk and Best Buy Mobile, Freston Ventures was born from the entrepreneurial spirit of our founders, Sir Charles Dunstone and Roger Taylor.

Today, it's our mission to invest in the promising brands that could be the next big household name or industry disruptor – supporting them with the funding, strategy and expertise that they need to help them grow.

We love to work with entrepreneurs that are ready to challenge convention and carve their own path. From Burger restaurant, Five Guys, to Womenswear brand, ME+EM, we've worked with dozens of brands who've set up shop and shaken up their sector.

Throughout all of our ventures, we apply a firm set of values to our vision: to create the next generation of British entrepreneurs. We're brave, we're committed, we're resilient, we're united.

We're ready. Are you?
