Andrew Whitehouse

Andrew Timothy Brian Whitehouse (date of birth November 1961, British) was a partner at Smith Square Partners LLP, a London-based independent corporate finance advisory boutique. UK Companies House records show he was appointed an LLP Member on 26 May 2011 and resigned on 31 March 2021, so he is a *former* partner and no longer appears on the firm's current team page. His registered correspondence address is 80 Pall Mall, London SW1Y 5ES, and it is his only recorded UK directorship/membership.

Smith Square Partners itself was founded in 2010 by John Craven and Ben Mingay (both still Managing Partners), not by Whitehouse — so the "Co-Founder" descriptor in the source stub is not supported by the public record; he joined roughly nine months after the firm's incorporation. The firm is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority and advises boards, shareholders, management teams and entrepreneurs on acquisitions and sales, public takeovers, capital raisings, capital-markets transactions, refinancings and restructurings, with a focus on the UK mid-market. It is staffed largely by former senior investment bankers.

Aggregator profiles indicate Whitehouse attended the University of Oxford, though a primary source for this could not be confirmed. Detailed information about his specific prior banking career and deal record is not publicly available; the firm's site does not carry an individual bio page for him, consistent with his 2021 departure.

• No angel-investing thesis could be independently verified. The source stub classifies him as an "Angel Investor" writing "Seed Round" checks, but nothing in his public footprint (Companies House shows no startup directorships or shareholdings, and no portfolio is documented) supports an active angel-investing practice.
• His professional expertise, insofar as it is documented, is in corporate finance advisory — M&A, public takeovers, capital raisings and restructurings for mid-market companies — rather than venture or seed-stage equity investing.
• Any founder relationship would more plausibly be as a corporate-finance adviser than as a lead seed investor; treat check-size, sector and stage claims from lead-gen databases as unconfirmed.
