== Past investments == === Credentially === Credentially was launched in 2016 by founders Kit Latham, a former A&E doctor, and Artem Stalpouski, a software engineer. They combined their expertise to address the lengthy hiring processes, disjointed onboarding efforts and fragmented compliance reporting that healthcare providers experience. === LYMA === LYMA was founded in February 2017 with an aspiration to develop a luxury wellness brand. The company worked closely with industry experts and the world’s leading nutritional scientists, combining intensive R&D with the latest technological advances to produce a unique and high-quality, evidence-based nutritional supplement. LYMA was recently named one of 2021’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. === ME+EM (exited) === ME+EM is a luxury quality womenswear fashion brand founded in 2008. The brand targets women aged 30‑55 who are busy and fashion conscious, offering a classic aesthetic and embodying designer quality at an affordable price. Pembroke exited their investment in ME+EM in March 2022 for a 16.1x return. === Popsa === Popsa is a photobook app that, through the use of proprietary machine learning algorithms, has reduced the time it takes for customers to produce photobooks from 2 hours to an average of just 6 minutes. Since Pembroke's investment in 2018, Popsa has continued to experience rapid growth, partly fueled by an expansion to the US and Europe. === Thriva === Thriva provides customisable Direct-to-Consumer blood testing kits that customers can use in their own homes to fill small sample vials. The results are processed and reviewed by a UK qualified GP before being sent to the consumer via a secure online dashboard, usually within 48 hours. === Pasta Evangelists (exited) === Pasta Evangelists sells quality fresh, cooked pasta and sauces, pasta making kits and masterclasses through a wide range of channels, aiming to become the authority in fresh pasta. Since Pembroke’s investment in January 2020, the home delivery sector has thrived. In January 2021, Pembroke sold its stake in the business to Barilla Group, generating a 2.3x return within 12 months. === Plenish (exited) === Plenish was founded in 2012 by Kara Rosen, who, after moving from the US, saw a gap in the UK market for cold pressed juices with no added sugar. Pembroke recently sold their stake in Plenish to Britvic, generating a 2.3x return for the fund. === Five Guys === Five Guys is a fast-food chain serving a range of hand‑made burgers made with fresh locally sourced beef and cooked on a grill, served with unlimited toppings and fresh‑cut fries. Pembroke teamed up with the US chain in 2013 as they embarked on their UK expansion, and the company now has over 100 outlets nationwide. As this Fund is a VCT, upon investing you will gain access to both the fund's current investee companies along with new investments made by the fund.
