About
TELLER Ventures Ltd. is the parent company of the group.
01 The founder
NOT A RISK. A FIND.
TELLER Ventures began with one founder who backed herself when others would not. They saw a risk. She was a find.
The company she built has grown into a group of companies across health, technology and culture, and every company in it is built the same way: with full commitment, and at our own risk.
