About Eka Ventures
Eka Ventures is a London venture firm backing what it calls founders creating positive system change, investing from pre-seed and seed through Series A and later rounds with roughly $50 million in recorded assets under management. Its thesis is organised around three areas rather than a sector list: Life, meaning technology that improves the access and affordability of essential products and services; Health, meaning healthcare technology that shifts care from reactive to preventative; and Sustainability, meaning technology that drives resource efficiency and decarbonisation.
General partners Camilla Dolan and Jon Coker established the firm in 2018 after a decade each at MMC Ventures, and the investment approach carries that consumer-technology heritage forward with an impact filter on top. Eka is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under FRN 848631 and is a certified B Corporation, which binds the stated thesis to an external governance standard.
The portfolio now runs past 30 companies. Current positions include Runna in fitness coaching, Axle in home energy management, Flok in AI-delivered physiotherapy, Hived in low-emission parcel delivery, 01 Health in specialist healthcare and Foresight in AI-driven steel decarbonisation. The team is deliberately small and pairs conventional venture judgment with in-house research and data capability: the principal who heads research came from European internet equity research at Barclays, and the associate data scientist builds machine-learning systems after seven years in quantitative trading. Eka publishes its research openly through a newsletter and takes inbound pitches directly through its site, consistent with a firm competing on thesis clarity rather than brand gravity.
Investment Thesis
“Invests in early-stage B2B software companies, focusing on AI, data, and enterprise technology solutions.”

Fund History
Eka Ventures does not publish fund sizes, and as a UK manager it files no Form D with the SEC, so its vintages are not visible the way a US firm's would be. What is on the record: the firm was established in 2018 by Camilla Dolan and Jon Coker, is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under firm reference number 848631, and is a certified B Corporation, an unusual structural commitment for a venture manager that binds the impact thesis to a governance standard rather than a marketing page.
Capital is deployed from pre-seed and seed through Series A and later rounds across three declared themes: Life, Health and Sustainability. The portfolio now runs past 30 companies, including Runna in fitness coaching, Axle in home energy management, Flok in AI-delivered physiotherapy, Hived in low-emission parcel delivery, 01 Health in specialist healthcare and Foresight in AI-driven steel decarbonisation. Coker's prior record at MMC Ventures included 14 investments spanning Interactive Investor, Gousto, Mubi, Bloom & Wild and CloudSense.
