Our Operating Network
A bench of repeat founders, robotics engineers and go-to-market leaders support diligence and portfolio work. They pressure-test safety cases, deployment playbooks and unit economics, and open doors to OEMs, integrators and enterprise buyers.
How we invest
Proprietary dealflow from the Britbots network, operator referrals, buyer pull and lab-to-field spinouts. Fast first-pass against our criteria.
Technical and commercial workstreams run in parallel: system performance outside GPS, serviceability, regulatory path, pricing, payback and margins.
Terms aligned to milestones and capital efficiency. Preference for modular hardware with a software-first roadmap and clean cap tables.
Customer access, round design, hiring and board rhythm. We track uptime, payback and recurring revenue, not just headline ARR.
Independent administration
The fund is structured as a Guernsey Qualifying Investment Fund (QIF) with independent administration.
Investment committee
Decisions require IC approval following written memos and diligence files. No single partner can approve an investment unilaterally.
Conflicts & allocations
Clear policies govern co-investment, follow-on, and any relationships within the Britbots network. We allocate opportunities fairly and disclose any potential conflicts in writing.
Valuation & risk
Valuations follow IPEV-aligned principles with periodic independent review. We maintain risk registers covering technology, deployment, regulatory and financing risks for each position.
Clear reporting, no surprises
Investors receive quarterly letters, audited annuals and capital statements, plus KPI dashboards on uptime, payback, margin and deployment. Founders run a simple board cadence with standard templates so progress stays measurable and transparent.
Independent governance, disciplined decisions
Star Bots Fund is promoted in the UK by FAIR Advisers Limited (FRN: 948164) and in Guernsey by Star Tech NG (Guernsey) Limited.
