Editorial Perspective
DMG Ventures is the venture arm of Daily Mail Group (DMGT)—giving portfolio companies access to one of the UK's largest media audiences for customer acquisition. They run two funds: Headline Fund (£250K–£1.5M, Seed–Series A) and Scale Fund (£1M–£5M, media-for-equity at Series B+). PropTech is a stated investment theme that resonates with their readers. Best fit for consumer-facing or prosumer PropTech startups that can leverage media distribution for growth—think property search, home improvement, or residential services. Not ideal for B2B enterprise PropTech; their edge is consumer reach through the Daily Mail and Metro audiences.

Investment Team.
Tomas M. Krogh
Fractional Chief Commercial Officer
I specialize in taking founder-led commercial engines apart until only the parts that work are left standing. Before advising, I operated-scaling a business from zero to the FT1000 list three years running and facilitating 10 billion DKK in property transactions. I don't write polite advisory decks; I give you the exact commercial reality check you need before an investment committee does it for you.
