LONDON, Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- London-based consultancy Black Castle Capital Partners has been honoured with the Global 100 - 2026 award for Best Venture Capital & Private Equity Business of the Year in the United Kingdom, recognising its boutique expertise in guiding companies through successful and efficient fundraising processes.
Black Castle Capital Partners specialises in tailored introduction services across Private Equity, Venture Capital and Real Estate. The firm's lean and nimble structure enables it to combine institutional-level discipline with a hands-on, boutique approach, giving clients the help to have a strategic advantage needed to navigate complex funding rounds. Their work spans document preparation, data room setup, and facilitating targeted introduction meetings, supporting clients from initial fundraising preparation through to successful close.
The company's philosophy centres on disciplined capital allocation, deep sector insight and strong alignment with founders and partners-components that position the firm to identify and support high-quality opportunities responsibly. In December 2025, the firm presented at the Alea Global Family Office Summit in the Middle East engaging with international family offices on private capital trends, governance and long-term value creation.
The business represents promising businesses such as Kabuni, an AI sports coaching platform demonstrating scalable innovation and strong market fundamentals, which reflects the firm's focus on helping companies with long-term growth potential whilst benefiting from the tax breaks being awarded from the government's Enterprise Investment Scheme commonly known as EIS.
