The London company was the group of investors that sent the 104 men to Jamestown in 1607. The purpose was to look for gold and come home. They were never meant to be colonists. Within six months of arriving in Virginia only 34 men were alive. Disease and starvation took them and the area had bad water and was in a Native American empire of 15,000.
