The new platform gives investors a centralised view of active fundraising, as Yachting Ventures community startups raised over £12 million in the past year.
Yachting Ventures, the startup and scaleup community for yachting and leisure marine companies, today announces the launch of its own Investor Deal Room – a dedicated platform giving investors a single, centralised view of active fundraising across the leisure marine innovation ecosystem.
The Investor Deal Room is hosted within Yachting Ventures’ existing Circle community platform, where its founder network already engages. The move brings investor communications fully in-house, ending a previous partnership with a third-party provider, and giving Yachting Ventures greater control over how it curates and distributes dealflow to its investor network.
The platform will be continuously updated with companies currently raising from across the Yachting Ventures community, alongside monthly investor communications covering company progress, new raises, and key milestones.
Yachting Ventures has built its existing investor network over the past 6 years through a consistent program of pitch events, both at leading international boat shows and through its own quarterly online sessions.
In 2025 alone, 55 founders took the stage to pitch at Yachting Ventures events globally, including at Metstrade, IBEX, boot Düsseldorf and the Monaco Smart & Sustainable Marina Rendezvous in Monaco.
This support is already translating into real outcomes, with startups across the Yachting Ventures community collectively raising over £12 million in the past year.
Gabbi Richardson, Founder of Yachting Ventures, said:
“We are incredibly proud to be supporting so many brilliant startups and scaleups in our community and the volume of companies raising right now is testament to just how much innovation is happening in this space.
Bringing our investor platform in-house gives us full control to curate, structure, and surface the most relevant opportunities for investors in one place.”
Founding Investor Membership
Yachting Ventures is inviting the first 100 qualified investors to join as Founding Investors within the platform.
Founding Investor status is reserved for active investors across venture capital, corporate venture capital, strategic industry investors, family offices, and angel groups with an interest in the yachting and leisure marine sector.
Founding Investors will receive full access to the platform for just £9.99 per month – a rate that will be locked in ahead of future pricing increases as the platform grows. All Founding Investors will be notified well in advance of any changes and will be recognised as early supporters of the community.
Places are strictly limited to 100, and investors can join here.
Upcoming events for Investors this April
The launch of the Investor Deal Room coincides with Yachting Ventures’ next quarterly online pitch event on 16th April 2026. Four companies will present live to the investor network, with each then featured in the Investor Deal Room for ongoing visibility throughout their raise.
Investors can RSVP to attend here.
Yachting Ventures will also host an in-person Innovation Exchange Session at the Mediterranean Superyacht Forum (MSF) on 28th April in Palma de Mallorca.
