About 33X
Transparent scoring for every SEIS / EIS stage.
Why "33X"?
As SEIS/EIS investors, two figures stand out: the £30,000 most investors typically commit to an EIS round, and the sought-after £1,000,000 return. While developing our system, the target multiple of 33× became our yardstick and our namesake.
What We Solve
33X addresses two unmet needs: opportunity curation and systematic deal evaluation.
Curated Investment Pipeline
Automated feeds populate the platform with fund-raising companies from venture partners, angel groups, and founders. All incoming companies then pass through our initial filters—traction, team pedigree, and market size—to produce a curated pipeline of UK SEIS/EIS opportunities.
Adaptive, Stage-Appropriate Evaluation
Every young company develops at its own pace. That's why 33X intelligently selects the appropriate qual/quant model for each case:
- •Pre-revenue / Pre-product (Pre-seed): Berkus Method—idea strength, prototype status, founding team, strategic relationships, market readiness.
- •Early traction (Seed): Scorecard Model—benchmarks progress in customer acquisition, revenue signals, operational runway.
- •Scaling stage (Post-seed): Market-comparable multiples—maps similar exits or funding rounds to calibrate valuation metrics.
At each stage, scores are normalized and aggregated into a single, transparent grade, ensuring true comparability.
How It Works
Data ingestion, benchmarking, and model selection run under the hood to enable focus on decisions, not data wrangling. The system weightings are also customisable to suit house preferences. Results are delivered in real-time.
Our Promise
We've opened the tool-kit we used to achieve returns way more than 33X. No grand declarations, no hidden agendas, just the models, processes, and automation that deliver real results.

Our Founder
Sam Hart is the founder of 33X.VC. His passion for early-stage and EIS-funded ventures began at ScreenCloud, where he interned and then joined full-time, ending as VP of Sales and Marketing. ScreenCloud went on to raise multiple rounds of VC funding and achieved an approximate £85 million exit (c. $110 million USD) in early 2025, a testament to what well-backed, high-growth businesses can achieve.
After that success, Sam completed an MBA in Banking & Finance at Nanyang Business School and interned at Motion Ventures, a Singapore-based VC investing in Seed to Series A companies in the maritime sector. These experiences taught him how to evaluate teams, markets, traction, and financials, skills he now leverages to help EIS investors.
