The partners are Simon Philips and Edward Mallinckrodt. Simon and Edward founded Root in 2002 and have thirty years of operating experience between them as entrepreneurs, managers and investors in the technology and support services sectors, with a track record of successful business turnarounds and start-ups.

In addition to the Partners, Root Capital also has a highly valued team of Associates working in general management, operations, sales, technology and finance roles within portfolio companies either on an interim or permanent basis. Our Associates are people of the very highest calibre who we have worked with over the years, and we are always on the look out for new candidates to join this team.
