The Challenge in Pre-Seed Inclusive VC
You’ve got a bright idea. A splash of ambition. But pre-seed inclusive VC? Feels like scaling Everest in flip-flops. Traditional platforms pile on:
- Commission fees.
- Complex tax rules.
- A steep learning curve.
Founders from underrepresented backgrounds often hit brick walls. Angel networks. Crowdfunding giants. All great, but they come with hidden costs. And time? It’s your most precious currency.
What Is SEIS and EIS?
The UK government rolls out two schemes: Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS). Think of them as turbochargers for pre-seed inclusive VC.
Here’s the gist:
- SEIS:
- Up to 50% income tax relief on investments.
- Maximum investment of £100k per year.
- Capital gains tax exemption on profits.
- EIS:
- 30% income tax relief.
- Invest up to £1m per year (or £2m if you fancy risk).
- Loss relief and capital gains deferral.
Tax incentives? Yes, please. But navigating eligibility rules, company age limits and investment caps can feel like decoding an ancient script. That’s where Oriel IPO steps in.

Comparing Oriel IPO to Traditional Platforms
Platforms like Seedrs and Crowdcube loom large. They offer broad crowdfunding, but:
- They charge up to 7% commission.
- Tax relief guidance is generic.
- You often pay success fees.
Oriel IPO flips the script:
- 100% commission-free. Your investment stays yours.
- SEIS/EIS experts on hand.
- Transparent pricing. Clear value.
Sure, Seedrs has a huge user base. Crowdcube offers equity and loans. But if you care about genuine pre-seed inclusive VC, fee-free and tax-savvy is the future.
