Yesterday we were in Leeds hosting our first pitching session of October. A huge thank you to all our angels that attended, the businesses who pitched with us and all the hard work you have put in on the run up to the event and to RBC Brewin Dolphin for hosting us!

Our next event is 15th October – if you would like to join us, please get in touch!

We are back!

Here’s to a successful pitching session!

What a huge success!

Today was our final August event, and what an event it was! We saw a room full of investors, and 4 businesses looking for funding. All 4 businesses received great feedback and secured some interest in moving on to due diligence.
