About the awards

Best New Product or Service (Growth Investor Awards)
The Best New Product or Service award is open to any growth investment provider that has introduced an innovative new product or service to the market since 6th April 2019.

Commenting on the announcements, Nova Growth Capital CEO, Andy Davidson “I’m delighted that the Nova team are continuing to gain recognition within the growth investment community. Nova’s Venture Building investment model is genuinely innovative and disruptive, and while neither of these terms is frequently embraced within financial services, it is clear to see that the model is working. Nova continues to cofound companies alongside great founders, building scalable technology businesses, investing early and winning big. Well done to the whole team!”

Commenting on the 2021 Growth Investor Awards, Guy Tolhurst, Managing Director of Intelligent Partnership, said: “We’re thrilled to be able to once again welcome our finalists in person to thank them for their drive and commitment in the last year. Without the work of the growth investment community, many more companies would have succumbed to the ongoing lockdowns or been unable to engage with the opportunities they have presented. 

Guy adds: “This industry is right at the heart of the UK’s investment-led recovery and helping the country to develop world-beating businesses, with explosive short-term growth and exciting long-term prospects in the post-Brexit context. The agility and expertise of our growth investors are invaluable assets to our SMEs and we’re proud of the part they play in unlocking the success that facilitates the jobs and prosperity that is so important to the wider economy. What better reason to dress up and congratulate such worthy nominees. I think they’re all champions and applaud each and every one, but you can be sure that the winners will be the best of the best. 

“This year we’ve seen some very competitive categories and I’m pleased to say that includes our brand new ESG Champion of the Year award and at a time of continuing uncertainty, I couldn’t be more impressed by the quality and breadth of what this industry offers to both investors and investees.

Nova Growth Capital deserves hearty congratulations for rising to the top of several very competitive categories.”
