Parkwalk EIS University Funds

Parkwalk EIS University Funds are Parkwalk Advisors' equity vehicles for university spinouts. They back deeptech companies built on university IP and use EIS and knowledge-intensive EIS capital rather than grant funding. The funds invest from £150,000 to £3 million, with a median around £500,000, on a rolling basis for UK spinouts from partner institutions. The fund family spans deeptech, healthtech, and cleantech, and the investment stage runs from seed through Series C. Parkwalk is strongest for spinouts that already have credible IP, a technical team, and a clear commercial path. Its university funds include Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, Bristol, and Northern institutions, which makes the platform especially relevant where university IP is already de-risked. The fund family is built for teams that need equity to move from proof of concept into scale-up execution, often alongside other institutional investors and IP Group plc. It also suits capital-efficient companies with clear technical milestones.
