The past couple of weeks have been incredibly busy – and hugely rewarding at angelgroups!
Last week alone, we hosted two pitching sessions, one online and one in London, where we saw 10 ambitious businesses step forward to seek investment funding. It’s always inspiring to hear founders share their vision, growth plans, and the impact they’re aiming to make, and the quality of businesses presenting continues to grow with every session.
We also celebrated the final of AIRA – our angelgroups Investor Readiness Accelerator. Over the course of 8 weeks, the programme supported SMEs in refining their investment propositions, strengthening their pitch delivery, and preparing for meaningful conversations with investors. The feedback from participating businesses has been incredible, with many highlighting the value of the accelerator, workshops, and connections made throughout the programme. Seeing founders grow in confidence and clarity over the eight weeks has been a real highlight for the team.
At the same time, we’ve officially reached the halfway point of the angelgroups Angel Accelerator. The programme continues to bring together aspiring and active angel investors who are developing their understanding of early-stage investing, due diligence, portfolio strategy, and the wider investment landscape. The engagement and enthusiasm from the cohort so far has been fantastic, and we’re excited for what the second half of the programme will bring.
A huge thank you to everyone involved – our founders, investors, speakers, and partners for contributing to such a productive and energising few weeks.
There’s plenty more to come, and we’re looking forward to continuing the momentum.
