reality
Novara is an independent growth equity investor.
We partner with inspirational founders and teams in technology enabled markets and help them grow faster through buy and build.
Supercharging growth
We bring extensive experience of buy and build strategies.
Scaling companies are our focus
We think scaling SMEs power the UK economy, but this talented group of companies and founders are too often overlooked by traditional private equity.
Technology is our accelerator
We think technology enabled markets will continue to outperform, and technology natives and first adopters will grow faster than competitors.
Buy and build is our differentiator
We think markets consolidate in waves. We look for market structures and patterns to support the next wave. We only invest where we see potential to grow faster through buy and build.

Taking private equity investment for the first time was a huge decision
Dom was an invaluable partner from the start. Energetic, curious with an open and direct style. He is also humble and respectful and is someone I trust implicitly. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Dom and learned a great amount. I couldn’t recommend him more highly."
I chose to work with Dom because he is one of us.
We wanted to supercharge our growth through buy and build. We had done some M&A in the past but nothing at scale or pace. Having a partner like Dom alongside us helped us take the step-change we wanted. We then 5x’d our business in three years. Now buy and build is second nature to us.”
Dom lives by the values of a true partnership
With Dom I found a team with proven expertise in buy and build, who live by the values of a partnership. Dom is a tremendous partner. He generates positive first impressions and establishes early relationships with founders, bringing people together."
