About us
Oggin Holdings is a private investment company. We invest our own capital, long-term, in physical businesses and the technology that makes them better, across UK, Ukraine and Australia. We back strong operators, intrapreneurs, and technical experts to realise potential.
OUR INVESTMENT THESIS
AI is changing how the world works, but it can't build, grow, move or defend anything on its own. The businesses that do those things are essential, often under-modernised, and frequently overlooked by investors chasing software.

Oggin invests in these businesses. We look for companies that provide something nations and communities can't do without, in industrial and sovereign capability, maritime, food and land, energy, and dual-use technology. We back them where technology such as drones, data and digitisation can transform their performance not replace them.

We invest our own capital with no fund clock, so we can be patient. We usually invest alongside lead investors we trust, bringing operational experience and board support rather than just money. We make selective early-stage investments in technology that serves our portfolio's industries. Through Strike Deep Media, we back filmmakers telling the stories of these worlds.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
  • Mission-critical — someone has to make it, move it or hold it
  • Clear potential for technology to improve margins and performance
  • A strong operator in place, or committed from day one
  • A connection to the UK, Ukraine or Australia
  • Steady returns, held forever for businesses we own
  • High growth and working towards an exit for ventures we back
