PrimeUS Research
Investment Thesis
PrimeUS (listed on LinkedIn as PrimeUS Ventures) describes itself as a transatlantic deep-tech programme that pairs equity investment with hands-on venture-building. Its stated aim is to carry British deep-tech companies into American markets, capital and resources. The homepage frames the UK as a long-standing source of innovation whose full value is harder to realise, and says the right partnerships for capital, markets and resources unlock it. LinkedIn calls it a pioneering accelerator programme that bridges UK startups with US markets, capital and commercialization. The firm describes itself as a collaboration of transatlantic partners across research, investment and emerging technology, working to maximise the value of UK innovation.
Two-Sided Offer
For investors, PrimeUS offers access to competitive UK deep-tech equity, with each investment venture-built for transatlantic markets and future capital. For entrepreneurs, it offers a package of capital and hands-on support to venture-build, connect, and open US markets. The site has enquiry routes for both investors and entrepreneurs. This suggests PrimeUS is partly a programme that raises outside capital for UK deep-tech equity and partly an accelerator that takes equity in the companies it supports. The public site does not say which, and it does not name a fund vehicle or a fund size.
Stage Focus and Check Size
Stage and check size are not stated on the website, LinkedIn or in any source found. The accelerator and venture-building language implies early-stage companies, but this is an inference and is recorded with low confidence. No check size range is published, so none is recorded here.
Lead Tendency
Unknown. No investment announcements or co-investor names were found.
Recent Activity
No portfolio companies, rounds, exits or fund announcements were found on the site, on LinkedIn or through web search. A LinkedIn profile for Muhammad Khan lists a publication dated 1 October 2026 titled The UK-Texas Deep Tech Commercialization Corridor, which argues for drawing innovation, venture capital, advanced manufacturing and high-growth companies to Texas. This hints that Texas is a likely US landing point for the programme, but it is a personal publication and not a firm statement. Khan also appeared as Founding General Partner of PrimeUS Ventures on a panel at APEX Las Vegas 2026, on how family offices allocate capital.
Portfolio Highlights
None found. The website has no portfolio page, only a single scrolling homepage with About and Contact anchors. No portfolio page exists to read with the captioned portfolio read, so no company names are recorded and none were added from memory.
Team
Muhammad Khan is Founding General Partner of PrimeUS Ventures since 2024, per LinkedIn and the APEX Las Vegas panel listing. He is based in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a United States Naval Academy alumnus with a military service background, and has a prior career in sales at Tektronix, part of Fortive. LinkedIn indicates he can introduce visitors to two people at PrimeUS Ventures, so there is at least one other team member who has not been identified. LinkedIn lists the company size as 2 to 10 employees and the type as privately held. The website names no team members.
Decision Process
Unknown. With a small team led by a founding general partner, decisions are plausibly concentrated in the founding partner or a small partnership, but this is not documented.
Founder Preferences
The firm targets UK deep-tech founders who want to enter the US market. It offers capital plus venture-building support, US market access and connections. Specific sector preferences within deep tech are not listed on the site.
Geographic Focus
UK-originated companies expanding into the United States. The firm's web domain is primeus.uk and the founding partner is US-based. The UK-Texas corridor paper suggests Texas as a focus. Companies House shows no confirmed entity for the firm, and the domain on file in F4-OS (primeusvc.com) differs from the live website domain (primeus.uk).
Gaps and Uncertainties
The profile rests on one marketing page and LinkedIn. There is no portfolio, no fund size, no stage or check size, no confirmed second team member and no dated investment activity. The profile should be refreshed when PrimeUS publishes a portfolio or team page.
