Treble Four

We build, advise and work alongside businesses we find interesting.

Difficult problems. Practical involvement.

What Interests Us

Vulnerability

Exploring how better data, technology and operating models can improve outcomes for people in vulnerable circumstances.

Care

Using better operating models, technology and partnerships to improve care for vulnerable adults, including those with learning disabilities.

AI

Interested less in AI for its own sake, and more in how it can bridge technology gaps and change the way people interact with businesses, with a particular interest in conversational voice AI.

eCommerce

Applying technology and automation to digital commerce, from smarter resale and marketplace models to developing and scaling products of our own.

Property

We favour property where there is something to improve, reposition or develop. The opportunity has to be more interesting than simply collecting rent.

Special Projects

Some problems arrive without a category. We tend to like those.

Case 01 Agriculture

A farm-to-market model

Working with an established FMCG business to explore a science and technology-led farm-to-market model, with a particular focus on protein production, resilient supply chains and the wider challenge of food security.

Case 02 Aviation

Movement between islands

A unique mobility challenge involving the movement of high-profile groups across a poorly connected group of islands, requiring a practical aviation solution built around reliability, flexibility and discretion.

Case 03 Ethiopia

A newly opened market

Exploring opportunity in a newly opened market where significant structural challenges are creating equally significant commercial potential, with a focus on overcoming barriers to entry, navigating red tape and helping bring the best of what Ethiopia produces to global markets.

How We Work

Advise

Experience, technology and judgement applied where the answer is not obvious.

Partner

Hands-on collaboration with businesses and operators where aligned interests create better outcomes.

Invest

Occasionally deploy our own capital where we know the space, trust the people and can contribute more than money.

About Us

Treble Four started in technology.

From IT services we moved into cybersecurity, then financial services, building businesses and solving problems along the way.

Financial services also led us into vulnerability, an area that has since become one of our strongest and most enduring interests.

Two exits later, the sectors have broadened but the technical DNA remains. We stay small by choice, work closely with the people involved and get hands-on when it matters.

Contact

Interesting problem? Relevant opportunity? Something that does not fit neatly into a category?

We welcome conversations connected to our current interests and special projects.

We do not generally consider unsolicited investment proposals.
