About Andy Phillipps

Andy Phillipps is a London-based serial entrepreneur, angel investor, and Non-Executive Director who serves as Co-Founder of the Centre for Better Futures and Venture Partner at IQ Capital Partners[1][3]. He invests primarily in early-stage technology startups across consumer internet, enterprise software, mobile, and clean technology, with a geographic focus on London and the UK[1][9]. Phillipps has actively invested in approximately 70 to 80 early-stage tech companies, often participating as an angel in initial rounds rather than leading later follow-ons due to subscription constraints[7][8]. His notable portfolio includes Zoopla, Trainline, Thought Machine, and Prodigy Finance, with combined market capitalization exceeding $10 billion[7][8]. He emphasizes investing in teams with prior exceptional achievements, high “clock speed,” and strong intellectual adaptability, while embracing the “Babe Ruth effect” where most portfolio value comes from a few outsized winners[6]. Phillipps also advocates “thinking in bets” and building diverse portfolios to manage early-stage risk, and he has taught at INSEAD, London Business School, and Stanford while sharing insights on angel investing s
