Acton Capital makes its first investment
Long-term partner Acton Capital (for whom I act as a venture partner for North-America) has just announced their first investment of their new late-stage consumer internet fund joining Index Ventures and Highland Capital Partners as an investor in Glasses Direct. UK-based Glasses Direct is Europe’s largest online prescription glasses retailer and will use the funds to expand the UK business and to support a significant push into the US market. It was the second round of financing for Glasses Direct; total amount of the roudn was £10m (about 18 million Canadian dollars).

Congrats to Christoph and the team there. Looking forward to seeing some of that Acton Capital deployed in North America. Let me know if you need any help with that
