We are delighted to be ending the week on a high with all 8 of the businesses who are pitching with us next week ready and raring to go!
We’ve had a busy week with pitch preparations and now we’re really excited to see the Founders deliver their fantastic pitches at next week’s pitch events.
In the meantime, we wish everyone a wonderful weekend and we look forward to updating you on next week’s events in due course!
If you are looking for funding before the end of the year, now is the perfect time to start the ball rolling.
In our experience, it typically takes 8 weeks from pitching to receiving the funds (if you have received enough interest from the event). This being the case, our next events are perfect for securing the funding before the end of the year and hitting the ground running in 2024!
If you would like to know more about our events just get in touch.
Yesterday’s ‘Ask the Investor’ event was fantastic!
A big thank you to our panel of investors who gave up their time to answer some of the great questions that were asked by the Founders in the audience. Some of these questions included:
– What is your motivation behind investing?
– Are you only looking to invest in the next big Unicorn, or do you also invest in businesses who don’t claim to achieve this growth trajectory?
– What do you look for in an investable proposition?
– Does a business need to have SEIS/EIS for you to consider them?
– What are your thoughts on AI?
– What are your views on valuing a business?
– Are you happy to see VC involvement?
– What involvement do you like to have in the business?
– What stage of the business’s development do you prefer to invest at i.e. pre-revenue etc?
The Investors delivered some really insightful answers that gave the Founders a better understanding of their investment do’s and don’ts! We’re looking forward to running more events like this in the future.
We are all set for this afternoon’s pitch event in Leeds!
Good luck to all of the founders who are waiting to showcase their business opportunity. As always they have all worked incredibly hard and we can’t wait to see them in action.
A big thank you to Ward Hadaway for hosting the event in their brilliant office space in Leeds, and thank goodness for aircon on this lovely sunny afternoon!

We were in Leeds yesterday, which was fantastic!
As a company who works remotely most of the time, it’s always nice to have a change of scenery and have a day working together.
Coffee, muffins and expanding the time were on the agenda. We find coming together in different locations great for creative thinking sessions too.
If you’re looking for funding, or exploring your funding options, then you likely have a lot of questions.
We are running a FREE ‘Ask the Investor’ event next month where you can ask a panel of our Angel Investors the questions that are important to you and your business growth.
We will be collecting some questions prior to the event, so please start sending these through. If you have any additional questions on the day then the floor will be open for these.

We hope to see you there!
If you’re going to be inside on a day like yesterday, you want it to be for a great event, and yesterday’s pitch event in Leeds was certainly just that!
Well done to the businesses who pitched, we were delighted to have supported them.
There was some fantastic feedback provided by the investors, and lots of interest in the room. Some of the feedback comments included:
– “Looks very investable”
– “Very niche market with huge opportunity”
– “Very impressive founder”
We are looking forward to their due diligence sessions.

We will soon be announcing some very exciting developments here at angelgroups…

We look forward to sharing more on this in due course.
Our founder Martin Avison was a speaker at this morning’s Meet the Fund Managers event in Doncaster. A big thank you to the organisers for inviting us to be part of the event.
Martin was presenting alongside Andy McKenna from the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority and Sue Harrison from Business Doncaster.
It was great to meet some local businesses who were exploring their funding options as well as connect with stakeholders in the region.
