In the latest edition of IndustryViews Venture Capital we meet up with Richard Moore, Investment Director at Calculus Capital, who led the recent funding round for Reading-based operations management software firm Active Operations Management International (AOMi). AOMi had grown steadily and profitably without the need for external funding. But in order to accelerate growth, management accepted that it was time to bring in professional investors and strengthen the board with experienced advisors.
We also expand our discussion on ‘what is a tech company?’ and explain why we believe new labels are needed to differentiate between companies which sell tech versus those who use it to drive their businesses.
And as usual we include highlights of recent venture capital funding rounds for UK-owned software and IT services companies.
IndustryViews Venture Capital is now available for download by eligible TechMarketView subscription service clients.

If you haven’t already done so, now is the time to book your place at TechMarketView’s 2014 event, Race for Change: An Evening with TechMarketView, sponsored by Telecity.
Join us at BAFTA, London, on Wednesday September 17 to hear the TechMarketView analyst team, led by our Chairman Richard Holway MBE and Managing Partner Anthony Miller, share views on the trends and suppliers shaping the UK software, IT services and business process services market. Last year’s inaugural event was a huge success and this year’s, which builds on our 2014 ‘Race for change’ theme, promises to be an equally high profile date in the UK tech calendar.
After the analysts’ presentations, there’s an opportunity to quiz the speakers and mingle with your peers at a drinks reception. Then sit down to a sumptuous dinner in the magnificent surroundings of BAFTA in Piccadilly to continue the debate and network with senior colleagues from across the UK SITS sector. The audience is set to include CXOs and senior managers from a broad spectrum of suppliers and end users in the sector.
Tickets cost £395+VAT for TechMarketView subscription clients and £495+VAT for everyone else. You’ll find more details on the evening on the Events pages of our website. But last year’s event was a sell out, so don’t miss your chance to be there in September 2014.
