Summary
Rob Kniaz, co-founder of Hoxton Ventures, is in talks with institutional investment firms to establish a new venture capital firm focused on deep tech investments. He will continue managing Hoxton's latest fund as he prepares to eventually exit to focus on his new VC firm. Hoxton has backed some of the U.K.'s most notable unicorns, including Deliveroo and Darktrace, but their public market values have declined due to rising interest rates and softer consumer spending. Hoxton has generated a hundredfold return on its early bets on Deliveroo and fiftyfold return on Darktrace, but lost money on its Babylon Health deal.
