Eka Ventures

Eka Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm dedicated to investing in consumer technology companies that drive positive system change. The firm focuses on three core consumer-led mega-trends: Life, Health, and Sustainability. Within "Life," Eka Ventures backs technologies that enhance access and affordability of essential products and services, encompassing physical and mental well-being, education, financial inclusion, and consumer justice. The "Health" thesis targets innovations shifting healthcare from a reactive to a preventative model, including early diagnostics, new treatment pathways, and solutions for chronic conditions. Under "Sustainability," the firm supports technologies enabling resource efficiency and decarbonisation across major consumer industries such as mobility, the built environment, and food systems.

Founded in 2018 by Jon Coker, with Camilla Dolan also serving as a General Partner, Eka Ventures emerged from a shared belief that technology can reshape large industries to better serve humanity and the planet, while also generating strong economic returns. The firm aims to be the first institutional investor, typically making pre-seed and seed investments ranging from £1 million to £3 million, though some sources indicate investments up to Series A. Eka Ventures closed its first impact-driven fund at £68 million and subsequently closed its second fund at $107 million, underscoring its commitment to impact-led investing.

Eka Ventures has built a diverse portfolio of companies addressing critical societal and environmental challenges. Notable investments include Runna, a coaching app for runners; Sourceful, a platform for sustainable packaging; Hesta Health, focused on comprehensive postnatal healthcare; Foresight Data Machines, which uses AI to decarbonise steel production; and Urban Jungle, a provider of socially responsible insurance. Other portfolio companies span areas such as personalised digital physiotherapy, zero-emissions parcel delivery, direct air capture technology, and AI-powered legal tech.

The firm is led by a small, experienced team with deep venture and industry expertise. General Partners Jon Coker and Camilla Dolan bring extensive backgrounds in consumer technology investing. The team also includes Hamish Law as Principal & Head of Data, Alicia Walker as Head of Finance & Operations, Estia Ryan as Principal & Head of Research, and Sunaina Donimath as Associate & Data Scientist, all contributing to the firm's data-driven approach and commitment to supporting founders in achieving their vision for positive change.
