About Ian Hogarth

Ian Hogarth is a London-based angel investor and Partner at Plural Platform, an early-stage fund he co-founded in 2021 after previously co-founding and leading the concert-discovery startup Songkick as its CEO for over eight years. His investment thesis centers on artificial intelligence and machine learning, with a focus on Pre-seed and Seed stages across sectors including AI, ClimateTech, Health, and SaaS, primarily in Europe and the UK. He typically invests small personal checks ranging from £5,000 to £10,000 as a follow investor, though his firm Plural has led larger rounds such as the £17 million investment in Oriole Networks. Notable portfolio companies include Songkick (part-acquired by Warner Music Group), Proxima Fusion, Oriole Networks, and Unitary, an online content moderation startup. Hogarth is a distinctive voice in AI safety, serving as Chair of the UK Government’s AI Foundation Model Taskforce and the UK AI Safety Institute, and he has publicly argued that the race toward “god-like AI” must be slowed due to existential risks. He also publishes regularly on AI’s societal impact, including a 2023 Financial Times piece
