Singular, an early-stage venture capital firm, has appointed Laura McGinnis as partner, based in its London office.

McGinnis joins from Balderton Capital and brings nearly a decade of investing and operating experience, spanning consumer technology, energy and cybersecurity. Previously, she partnered with founders from formation through scale, supporting companies including Grand Games, Lawhive, Coro Cyber, Tilt and Sylvera across product, brand and go-to-market.

She began her career on the operating side at Away and H&M, working across product marketing and strategy, go-to-market and brand.

Since launching in 2020, Singular has built a portfolio of companies delivering measurable impact across industries, including Aikido, which reached unicorn status earlier this year and is reshaping cybersecurity in an AI age; to Basecamp Research, applying AI to life sciences; and Vibe, a self-serve platform for performance marketers, recently acquired by Walmart.
