In 2024, Think Ahead Ventures invested in ROC, a Jersey-based digital startup that aims to develop a web application and brand that seamlessly links all that Jersey has to offer for both locals and visitors. It is set out to create a user-friendly and community-driven platform to provide information, recommendations, and services to enrich and digitalise the island experience. ROC aims to become the go-to place to find activities, locations, and relevant information.
Think Ahed Ventures is thrilled to support ROC with a business angel investment, combining early-stage funding with our experience in launching and scalng new products in the digital economy.
