Manchester businesses are being offered an unprecedented opportunity, at a September event (and monthly thereafter), to pitch to a number of angel investors for funding to grow their companies.

Our angelgroups-Manchester initiative will provide an exclusive opportunity for high‐growth businesses to pitch to angel investors for funding, with those who successfully impress potentially securing angel investment and mentoring/support.

We’re delighted to be bringing this opportunity to Manchester, which has consistently been a city of pioneering ideas ‐ now it’s time angel investors heard some of them.

Here at angelgroups, we look for businesses from any sector and at any stage of their development. Our online platform provides an opportunity for businesses to showcase their aspirations, and we also run monthly pitching sessions for those looking for funding. That said, for most businesses seeking angel investment, it’s not just about the money, it’s about the experience the angel can offer.

Receiving introductions to angel investors can make a significant impact on a business and not just because of the investment. This really is a great opportunity for any North-West-based, high-growth business.

The ongoing pitching sessions will be run in conjunction with our local partners Weightmans, BDO and the private bank Brown Shipley. Those businesses interested are invited to apply online at www.angelgroups.co.uk

“We’re really excited to be one of angelgroup’s partners as they arrive in Manchester. The city’s flourishing business community is full of potential for investors, and we’d encourage ambitious businesses to seize this opportunity to realise their future growth plans” Sarah Walton, Corporate Finance Partner Weightmans.

“With our ongoing ambition to see businesses in the North West thrive, we are proud to be working with angelgroups to increase the opportunities and funding for entrepreneurial growing businesses in our region” Laura Stuffins, Director BDO Drive.

“Brown Shipley are proud to be partnering with Manchester angelgroups. The North West is flourishing and has many potential investors who would like the opportunity to work with and develop new entrepreneurial businesses.” Gavin Wiggans, Brown Shipley

We introduce high‐growth SMEs to the funding options available so as to enable them to meet their growth aspirations.
