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.

You can register for the event HERE.

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.

You can now register for our ‘Ask the Investor’ event!

Have you got questions that you would love to ask investors?

We’re planning on a running a free Q&A event where you can ask some of our investors the burning questions you have on your mind.

This event will likely be ran in early September (online) so there is still plenty of time for you to have a think about which questions are important to you and your business.

If you would like to register your interest in attending this event, just get in touch and we’ll make sure you’re one of the first to be invited!

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

We’re making moves towards becoming a tech company (like many of the businesses we support!). Our solution will benefit investors, founders, and countless stakeholders across the UK.

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.

 

We’re in Leeds this afternoon for our latest pitch event.

Good luck to the founders who are pitching. We are certain they will each deliver fantastic pitches. We’re excited to hear the feedback from our local angel investors and share this with the businesses post pitch. We provide a written feedback report following each pitch. This report covers:

– What the investors liked about the business
– What the investors perceive is the biggest challenge for the business to overcome
– General feedback comments
– Scores across three key areas

Good luck everyone!

It was a pleasure to have worked with the team at Easology in their funding round. Dr Peter Ashall and the team worked incredibly hard to secure their raise and we could not be happier to have been part of their journey.

We are looking forward to following their success in the months and years to come and are expecting great things from this team.

We wish Easology all the best!

 

We’ve worked with some fantastic new founders this year, and have also worked with some of our previously funded businesses on their follow on investment. There’s nothing better than hearing the progress founders have made following their investment and their plans for further expansion as they come back to us and do it all over again!

For some founders, depending on their businesses journey, funding can become a full time job. We have known founders who have had to employ someone into the business who’s sole job is to go through the funding loop on repeat. We are here to support founders who just don’t have the time (or connections) to complete their funding rounds on their own. We help teams by doing the leg work for them, and rounding up the relevant investors.

If you would like to find out more about how we can support your funding round, just get in touch.

There is still time to register for this week’s FREE online event for businesses exploring their funding options (21st June, 4pm-5pm).

This is the second of two Angel Insight events and will enable you to fully understand the challenges from both sides of the fence and enable you to prepare accordingly. You do not need to have attended the first event to attend this event. All attendees are welcome. These sessions will be delivered by our founder, Martin Avison.

This Angel Insight session will cover:

• Angel v Crowd
• Martin’s funding story
• What angels are looking for
• Pitching for investment

We hope you can join us. You can register for the event HERE.

Last week saw the launch of the latest Investing In Women Code report. We are proud to have contributed and to be one of the code signatories.

You can read the full report HERE.

The Investing in Women Code is such an important initiative that we have supported from it’s inception back in 2019, and look forward to supporting in the years to come.

This was a fun one!
