Founding office
Speak to the founding office.
Institutions, partners and technical teams. Enquiries are read by the founders directly — there is no sales function to route around.
How to reach us
WhatsApp is the fastest route and is monitored during UK business hours. Email if you would rather have a written thread from the outset.
We do not operate a web form. Nothing you send is stored on this site — it goes straight to a channel the founders read.
Routing
Which route applies to you.
Strategic partnership
Co-development, distribution or market access where both sides contribute capability. Include the market and the role you would hold.
Open WhatsAppProduct integration
Technical onboarding to nelum.tech, or early access to veridity.tech. Include the systems involved and the volume you expect.

Governance, compliance, structure or capital. Reviewed by the founding office directly.
Open WhatsAppAfter you send
What happens to an enquiry.
Review
The founders read the enquiry against current group and vehicle priorities. Most are answered within two working days.
Response
A written reply states whether there is a fit and what the next step would involve. A clear no comes back as quickly as a yes.
Onboarding
Where an engagement proceeds, business verification and the relevant framework documents are issued before any transaction workflow opens.
Information handling
Send only what is needed to establish context. Documentation, ownership detail and transaction material are collected later through verified channels, never through a messaging thread.
Entity and jurisdiction
Barklem&Chi Ltd. is the contracting entity for group matters. Vehicles contract through their own companies, identified at the point of engagement.
Common questions
Before you write.
- Do you contract at group level or per product?
- Group matters contract through Barklem&Chi Ltd. Vehicle engagements contract through the relevant company, which is identified before any documentation is issued.
- Can we integrate with nelum.tech directly?
- Yes. Say so in your first message and state the systems involved. Business verification is completed before technical onboarding begins.
- When does veridity.tech open beyond private beta?
- The private beta cohort is closed and by invitation. Register interest and you will be contacted when the cohort next opens.
- Do you review inbound venture proposals?
- Vehicles are incubated in-house against the admission tests set out on the ecosystem page. Proposals meeting those tests are read, but rarely lead to a new vehicle.
- What should we not send through this channel?
- Ownership documentation, financial statements, identity documents or transaction material. These are collected through verified channels once an engagement is established.
