"This is done by supporting young businesses and entrepreneurs seeking to raise investment and offering a range of guidance in how best to continue growing and flourishing their businesses.
"This was a key differentiator for me when considering my investment, and I am excited for the future and the positive impact on the community it is serving."
Mr Packham added: "I invested because I believe in the management team, and I think the area of the market we are going to be investing in is underserved.
"Entrepreneurs need support at every stage of their journey, and there’s a massive cohort of companies who couldn’t or wouldn’t ever get access or exposure to leadership at Fearless Adventures.
"So scaling Fearless and helping loads of business owners level up is an amazing thing to be part of."
James Cox, partner of Stonebridge Private Office, said: "Fearless Adventures’ approach instantly resonated with me, filling a gap which is lacking in the current investment ecosystem.
"Led by people who have built their own businesses, with the empathy that comes from having been on the journey positions them uniquely to help the emerging champions of tomorrow, I very much look forward to being part of the journey."
