Wow, what a great way to start our Thursday with our online pitching session. We saw 4 great businesses, and a virtual room full of angels. All businesses secured interest, and are now moving on to Due Diligence.

Congratulations to all our businesses on a successful morning, and we look forward to the next steps.

Tomorrow is our next online pitching event and we are really looking forward to seeing 4 great businesses pitch to hopefully secure funding and support from one of angels.

Last week Martin Avison travelled to London to take part in the UK Space Agency Entrepreneurial Spark Exotopic bootcamp, as one of their investment experts.

Martin attended a range of different sessions and also held his own. He met and spoke with some great people in the industry, and really enjoyed the two days.

FEEDBACK!

“I have been very impressed. The platform is great, the support and communication from you and your colleagues has been great. Martin has been brilliant and has really helped me define the business direction. I wish I had heard about you sooner” – Darren E.

Thank you, we love receiving feedback from our SMEs and angels! If you have attended an event recently, please leave us some feedback via email, Google or social media.

With the end of the tax year fast approaching, we are seeing an increase in investors looking to use up their SEIS/EIS allowances. We are also getting a lot of applications from businesses looking for investment, so it’s been a busy start to 2024!

If you an angel investor looking to invest or a business looking for investment then we would be delighted to hear from you. We run multiple pitching events each month – both online and in-person, so we are always looking for exciting high growth businesses and investors seeking opportunities.

 

After a very successful pitching event last week in Leeds, we are now heading in to due diligence to take a deeper look at each business.

One of the businesses we saw pitch with us was Aagrah Foods, who bought along a selection of their products for our angels to try – they were a huge hit, and tasted amazing!

We wish all our businesses every success in the next steps!

 

We are now heading in to what is probably our busiest time of the year as the emphasis moves from businesses looking for investment, to investors looking for opportunities to use their tax allowances before the end of the tax year; the 4th of April.

So, have you got an opportunity you would like to pitch to our investors? Register here – https://lnkd.in/dWsUvcH7 and let’s make 2024 your year!
