There is intended to be four separate classes of membership interest in the LLP representing the four investment series which will, for the purpose of accounting for the LLP's investments and allocations of profit, reflect the Capital Contributions made in respect of the Investment Series.

Each Member shall contribute an Initial Capital Contribution on or prior to the date on which such member is admitted to the LLP.

All distributions are made in the following order and priority: |
- first, to the Executive Member by way of a Priority Profit Share for assisting in selecting and mentoring companies participating in the Investment Series; |
- second, to the General Members until they have received an amount equal to the Capital Contribution made by them in the relevant Investment Series; and |

REPORT OF THE MEMBERS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
STATEMENT OF MEMBERS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The members are responsible for preparing the Report of the Members and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law, (as applied by The Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008), requires the members to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the members have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under legislation applicable to limited liability partnerships the members must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the LLP and of the profit or loss of the LLP for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the members are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the LLP will continue in business. |
The members are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the LLP's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the LLP and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the LLP and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the members are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the LLP's auditors are unaware, and each member has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a member in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the LLP's auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Menzies LLP, have indicated their willingness to continue in office. The designated members will propose a motion re-appointing the auditors at a meeting of the members. |

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
TECHSTARS LONDON 2013 LLP |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Techstars London 2013 LLP (the 'LLP') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Reconciliation of Members' Interests and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the LLP's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its loss for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the LLP in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the LLP's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the members with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The members are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the Members, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
TECHSTARS LONDON 2013 LLP |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or |
- | the members were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small LLPs regime. |
Responsibilities of members |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Members' Responsibilities set out on page three, the members are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the members determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the members are responsible for assessing the LLP's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the members either intend to liquidate the LLP or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
TECHSTARS LONDON 2013 LLP |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
The LLP is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant including: |
- Companies Act 2006 (as applied by the Limited Liability Partnership (Accounts and Audit) |
- (Application of the Companies Act 2006) Regulation 2008); |
- Financial Reporting Standard 102; and |
- General Data Protection Regulations. |
We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. |
We understood how the LLP is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures. We corroborated our inquiries through our review of relevant documentation. |
The engagement partner assessed whether the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations. The assessment did not identify and issues in the area. |
We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: |
- Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to |
prevent and detect fraud. |
- (Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the |
potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting |
process. |
- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant |
accounting estimates; and |
- Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual |
Account combinations. |
As a result of the above procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist |
within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: |
- Posting of unusual journals and complex transactions; or |
- The use of management override of controls to manipulate results, or to cause the LLP to |
enter into transactions not in its best interests. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
TECHSTARS LONDON 2013 LLP |
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the LLP's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the LLP's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the LLP and the LLP's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
The LLP is registered in England and Wales. |
The address of the registered office is 47 Park Lane, London, W1K 1PR. |
2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', and the Companies Act 2006 and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships". |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. They have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of investments measured at fair value through profit or loss. |
Profit allocation and distributions |
Profits are divided among the members based on the profit shares as set out in the LLP Agreement at such times and in such amounts as deemed appropriate by the Designated Members following completion of an investment series. |
Profits are divided and distributed in the following order and priority: |
- first, to the Executive Member by way of a Priority Profit Share for assisting in selecting and mentoring companies participating in the Investment Series; |
- second, to the General Members until they have received an amount equal to the Capital Contribution made by them in the relevant Investment Series; and |
- third, 18% (less the amount of any Priority Profit Shares previously allocated to the Executive Member in respect of the relevant Investment Series) to the Capital Account of the Executive Member, 12% to the Corporate Member and 70% to the General Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in such Investment Series. |
Going concern |
In accordance with the requirements of FRS102, the valuations at the date of the statement of financial position reflect the economic conditions in existence at that date. The most recent valuation, carried out as of 31 March 2024, shows an increase in the overall value of the investments held. The next date at which a valuation of unquoted investments will be performed will be as of 30 June 2024. In addition to the consideration of the unquoted investments value, the LLP has prepared cashflow forecasts covering at least a 12 month period from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts show that the LLP will not have sufficient levels of cash for the forecast period. Consequently, the LLP has obtained a letter of support from Techstars Central LLC, whereby Techstars Central LLC confirms the intention to fund the ongoing costs of the fund and this will be repaid once a sale of an investment takes place. Techstars Central LLC will not seek repayment of the existing or future debt until Techstars London 2013 LLP is in a position to make payments. This support will be provided for at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. On this basis the Partners consider it appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a going concern basis. |
TECHSTARS LONDON 2013 LLP (REGISTERED NUMBER: OC382911) |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Members' participation rights Members' participation rights are the rights of a member against the LLP that arise under the members' agreement (for example, in respect of amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed, remuneration and profits). Members' participation rights in the earnings or assets of the LLP are analysed between those that are, from the LLP's perspective, either a financial liability or equity, in accordance with Section 22 of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships'. A member's participation right results in a liability unless the right to any payment is discretionary on the part of the LLP. |
Amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed by members, for example members' capital, are classed as equity if the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payment to members. If the LLP does not have such an unconditional right, such amounts are classified as liabilities. |
Where profits are automatically divided as they arise, so the LLP does not have an unconditional right to refuse payment, the amounts arising that are due to members are in the nature of liabilities. They are therefore treated as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income in the relevant year. To the extent that they remain unpaid at the year end, they are shown as liabilities in the statement of financial position. |
Conversely, where profits are divided only after a decision by the LLP or its representative, so that the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payment, such profits are classed as an appropriation of equity rather than as an expense. They are therefore shown as a residual amount available for discretionary division among members in the statement of comprehensive income and are equity appropriations in the statement of financial position. |
Other amounts applied to members, for example remuneration paid under an employment contract and interest on capital balances, are treated in the same way as all other divisions of profits, as described above, according to whether the LLP has, in each case, an unconditional right to refuse payment. |
All amounts due to members that are classified as liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position within 'Loans and other debts due to members' and are charged to the statement of comprehensive income within 'Members' remuneration charged as an expense'. Amounts due to members that are classified as equity are shown in the statement of financial position within 'Members' other interests'. |
TECHSTARS LONDON 2013 LLP (REGISTERED NUMBER: OC382911) |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Investments |
Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is the estimated amount that would be received to sell the portfolio company investment in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Previously, investments were stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses; however, the valuation policy was reviewed and updates were made to align with the Company's applicable required accounting standards. In determining fair value of Investments made in connection with participation in an accelerator program, the Company considers several factors including, cost, stage of company, management team, geography, and the overall inherent value created from participation in the mentorship driven accelerator program and network. |
The Company also reconsiders an investment's fair value in connection with each material equity financing. The value of the last round of financing is a factor in determining fair value, but it is not the only factor. A subsequent equity financing that includes substantially the same group of investors as the prior financing is considered in valuing prior investments unless it can be demonstrated that the financing no longer represents fair value. |
Occasionally a round of financing includes a significant investment from a strategic investor paying a premium due to benefits accruing uniquely to itself. The Company evaluates whether such a premium is representative of what the most likely buyers of the company would also pay upon exit, and therefore, whether the price paid by the strategic investor is deemed to be the exit price (fair value) expected from market participants. |
After some period of time, cost or the latest round of financing becomes less reliable as an approximation of fair value. The Company assesses whether fair value has changed even though there has not been a new round of financing. Examples of changes in circumstances which may indicate a change in fair value include, but are not limited to, the following: |
TECHSTARS LONDON 2013 LLP (REGISTERED NUMBER: OC382911) |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (a) The current performance of the company investment is significantly above or below the expectations at the time of the original investment. Potential indicators of this situation will include evaluation of the company's success or failure in attaining certain milestones, achieving technology breakthroughs, developing proprietary technology or significantly exceeding or failing to meet targets. |
(b) Market, economic or company specific conditions have significantly improved or deteriorated since the time of the original investment. Potential indicators of this situation will include evaluation of broad changes in the economic climate, changes in the financing markets, changes in the legal or regulatory environment in which the company operates, changes in the company's cost structure, increased or decreased risk factors faced by the company, or significant fluctuations in share prices of quoted companies operating in the same or a related industry. |
(c) Substantial decreases in the value of quoted, more senior securities of the company, defaults on any obligations of the company, a bankruptcy filing, significant ownership dilution caused by recapitalization of the company, or liquidity concerns that are expected to be more than short term in nature are circumstances which indicate a potential impairment in value. |
Financial instruments |
Basic financial assets and liabilities including, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, trade and other payables are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
Impairment of unquoted investments |
The valuation of investments is considered at each reporting date for impairment. The Fund Manager uses their judgement to consider whether there is an indicator of impairment based on the investee company's current and expected future financial performance and any changes to the markets in which they operate. Where it's determined that an investment is impaired an appropriate impairment charge in full or part is provided against these investments. |
