What a year…! As we imagine all businesses do in the run up to the festive period, we are reflecting on 2018. We are thrilled to say this year has been fantastic for angelgroups. We started off the year opening our next groups covering the York and Grimsby regions, these have proved to be a huge success and continue to grow alongside our other groups.
We now have 8 angel groups and have been able to hold a remarkable 38 pitching sessions as well as running Angel Only events and Investor Readiness sessions for the businesses. We’ve had some incredible businesses pitch and have been able to conclude deals on many of these. The support the Angels continue to provide the businesses is fantastic, with many making crucial connections and making a real difference to the growth of the company.
The biggest change for angelgroups this year is the start of our Franchise business! Having already established our first two franchisees and in detailed talks with several others we couldn’t have got off to a better start.
2019 promises to be yet another fantastic year for angelgroups. We have so many exciting plans that we’re really looking forward to sharing.
We have 30 pitching sessions scheduled for the first half of next year already. What better way to start the year than securing funding and support for your business. Drop us an email at [email protected] if you would like to learn more.
From everyone here at angelgroups we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
