Craig Osborne — founder of Iforium, now an early-stage investor.
Early-stage investment, strategic perspective and genuine founder experience.
Building a business is rarely a straight line. It takes persistence, adaptability and a willingness to keep challenging what you think you know.
At Ebitza Capital, we invest our own capital in ambitious early-stage businesses and support the people behind them.
Having built and exited a technology business, we understand that product–market fit isn’t a destination. Markets evolve, customers change and successful businesses must continually adapt.
We back founders with the ambition to pursue significant opportunities, the agility to change direction when necessary and the tenacity to see their vision through. We look for opportunities where our own entrepreneurial experience can add meaningful value beyond capital.
A selection of the businesses we've backed. Explore what they're building, the opportunities we see and why we chose to invest.
Programmable mobile network infrastructure giving operators and connectivity providers greater control over global IoT services.
We backed Stacuity’s deep-tech vision of bringing the flexibility and scalability of cloud computing to mobile connectivity. Combining a software-defined, programmable platform with an experienced commercial team, Stacuity is built to disrupt traditional telecoms infrastructure.
A digital tax platform simplifying Self Assessment and Making Tax Digital for UK taxpayers.
We backed Tom's long-term vision to build a vertically integrated tax platform. We were impressed by the quality of the Pie brand, the timing of Making Tax Digital and the years he had spent preparing for the opportunity. This was a carefully considered vision, not a reaction to a changing market.
A comparison platform helping gamers discover and compare Counter-Strike 2 skins across multiple digital marketplaces.
We backed Josh's vision to build far more than a skins comparison platform: to own the market's supporting ecosystem and supply chain. Our experience building and exiting an industry-related business gave us confidence that we could help shape that wider strategy. It was a vision that also attracted smart capital from experienced, exited entrepreneurs.
An airline technology platform enabling carriers to generate additional revenue through integrated ancillary travel services.
We were drawn to Arcube through our passion for travel, but it was the founders' ability to sell, build relationships and create commercial opportunities that convinced us to invest. We believed they had the adaptability to turn those opportunities into a scalable business, and that our experience building and scaling a B2B technology business could add commercial and strategic value.
A payments platform helping independent businesses accept fast, affordable bank, card and contactless payments.
We backed Spot after seeing the traction its founders achieved in the university market and their ability to pivot towards a larger opportunity. Their agility and tenacity stood out. Our experience building technology businesses and working with payments helped us see particular potential in health and wellness—and where we could make a meaningful contribution to the team's strategy.
Exited tech founder with close to two decades of experience building and scaling a software business from first customer to successful exit. This spanned technical innovation, commercial strategy and operational execution across multiple product pivots, without relying on external investment.
I now focus on investing, advising and mentoring early-stage founders. I’m most useful on product, strategy and go-to-market. My systems brain helps fill in gaps and thinks a few steps ahead.
I enjoy working with founders who take ownership, think long term, and are prepared to do the hard work required to build something meaningful.
Always open to thoughtful, no-pressure conversations.

Charlie Pentol-Levy — Co-founder, Spot
Craig has been far more than just an investor; he is a genuine force multiplier for our team. Whenever we jump on a call, he delivers immediate value. He has an uncanny knack for cutting through the noise, making warm intros that actually move the needle, and offering sharp insights that help us navigate complex pivots with total confidence.
Tom McNally — Founder, Pie Tax
Craig isn’t just an investor to us; he’s a crucial part of what we’re building. We’re incredibly proud to have him on our team.
Whenever something critical comes up, Craig is there. His years of experience and engineering background allow him to get into the detail, quickly identify what really matters, and help us think beyond survival towards long-term success.
He challenges our assumptions, raises scenarios we haven’t considered, and tells us what we need to hear—not simply what we want to hear.
