Background
Bullhound Capital is the investment Arm of GP Bullhound, a London-based technology advisory and investment group. It focuses on growth-stage technology companies across Europe, providing equity capital alongside the group's broader transaction advisory and research capabilities. The firm operates across sectors including enterprise software, fintech, and deep tech, deploying capital at Series B and beyond into companies with established commercial traction.
In June 2026, Bullhound Capital led the £260m ($350m) Series C for Oxford Quantum Circuits, the largest quantum-computing funding round ever completed in Europe. The round brought together a broad international consortium of strategic and financial investors, with Bullhound structuring and anchoring the syndicate.
The OQC deal positions Bullhound Capital as a notable backer of the UK's quantum-computing ambitions at a moment when the government has committed £2bn to accelerate quantum deployment. Its willingness to lead a capital-intensive deep-tech round at this scale reflects a wider shift in European growth capital towards sovereign technology infrastructure.
