We Fund The Wild Ones. *
We’re not a VC. We’re a launchpad for ideas that don’t fit in boxes. Ideas that don’t fit the pitch deck? Perfect
Pitch us Anything, We invest in your ‘What if’s’.
Funded by a family, fuelled by imagination.
Welcome to Blank Canvas capital.
We’re not your typical VC.
Backed by Bostall, We’re a multi-generational family office that got bored of boardrooms and decided to back brave, playful, and sometimes ridiculous ideas instead.
Big or small, polished or half-sketched on a napkin — if your idea has the power to light people up, we want to see it.
A fund for dreamers, doers, inventors, rebels, artists, hackers, wellness warriors, wild thinkers — and anyone who believes their idea deserves a chance to breathe.
Got a wild idea? Let’s hear it.
We’re a family-backed venture fund for wild ideas — big or small. No KPIs. No red tape. Just green lights.
What’s too weird for other investors is just right for us.
🌈 Wild consumer ideas that make life brighter
🎭 Creative industries, culture, and experiences
🔬 Oddball science and tech with magic potential
🌀 Anything half-sketched on a napkin that makes us grin
If you’re wondering, ‘Will they really fund this?’ the answer is probably yes.
No pitch deck theatre. No jargon bingo. No endless due diligence rabbit holes. We’re fast, flexible, and curious. Our money comes with imagination, not a 200-page shareholder agreement.
Our investments are made from our parent company: bostall.co.uk
Who’s Behind This?
I’m Aran, and I’ve spent the last decade moving through worlds where ideas meet capital.
I studied Social Sciences at UCL, earned a Master’s in Management at Imperial, and a Master’s in Finance at Cambridge.
Professionally, I’ve worked across strategy consulting, investment banking, and private equity funds — with a particular focus on corporate strategy and real assets. I’ve been in the thick of high-pressure private equity and capital raising environments, and I know first-hand the bottlenecks that slow brilliant ideas down in the journey toward institutional capital.
I’ve seen how early founders get boxed in by investors — endless KPIs, reporting requirements, and profit-sharing that strip away imagination and founder upside. I believe there’s a better way: giving founders the space and capital to grow boldly before they face the institutional world.
What excites me most now is curiosity — discovering wild, game-changing ideas and helping them grow. Backed by a multi-generational family office, I want to use my network and experience to support founders with more than capital — from strategy and operations through to scaling.
