What a huge success!

Today was our final August event, and what an event it was! We saw a room full of investors, and 4 businesses looking for funding. All 4 businesses received great feedback and secured some interest in moving on to due diligence.

We would like to thank all our angels who attended and wish the businesses the best of luck as they move on to the next stages.

 

 

An exciting angelgroups update!

We are excited to announce that Martin has been elected to be part of the UK Business Angel Association’s Technical Committee. This gives us a voice around the table, and Martin is looking forward to getting involved.

Well done Martin.

 

Today – the 1st August, we celebrate everything that makes Yorkshire special, from its breathtaking landscapes to its incredible businesses.

As we honour our county, we’re taking a moment to appreciate the stunning scenery, rich history, unique traditions and the thriving business hub.

We are very grateful to be located in the heart of Yorkshire and be able work with some incredible businesses in and around the wonderful county.

Cheers to Yorkshire and all it’s wonderful businesses!

It has only been a week since the general election but the government have already announced plans to align the UK Infrastructure Bank and the British Business Bank, under a new National Wealth Fund that aims to inject billions of pounds from private investment into the economy.

This is great news for the angel investment sector, and we are looking forward to seeing how this goes.

True Tone Speakers revolutionise audio products blending timeless design, seamless connectivity and exceptional sound, alongside a unique subscription model enabling a wider market to access premium audio.

We wish them every success!

EVENT FEEDBACK?

“We both really enjoyed the day. Super well organised and a cracking way to start our journey into the world of Angel Networks. Some really useful feedback from some clearly experienced and switched-on investors, which is great for us. So grateful to you guys for hosting us and for looking after us.” – Stance Fitness Ltd | Techstars London ’22

It is great to receive such positive feedback from past businesses, and we wish all our businesses every success in the angelgroups process.

 

Today we are back in Leeds for our first event of the month. We will be seeing seven businesses pitch for funding from our room of angel investors. We wish them the very best of luck and hope for another successful day.

Thank you to NatWest Group for hosting us this month, and we look forward to seeing our investors and SMEs today.

It’s been another busy week at angelgroups – time flies when you’re having fun!

Yesterday we saw four businesses pitch online infront of a virtual room full of our investors and hearing feedback like this – ‘Super well organised and a cracking way to start our journey into the world of Angel Networks.’ makes us know it’s been a job well done.
