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 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.

Yesterday we attended the Women Angels of the North Investment Forum in Leeds and what an event it was! It was great to hear from a group of really inspiring women and listen to both the entrepreneurs and Investors stories. Women Angels make up such a small percentage of the overall Investor pool. It’s really important these events are ran to help encourage women considering this route that Angel Investment is NOT gender specific. We look forward to supporting more events like this in the future.
We are really looking forward to attending the Women Angels of the North Investment Forum next week in Leeds and meeting some of the influential women who are funding entrepreneurs. This is a fantastic event for women from the Northern Regions interested in hearing more about Women Angel Investing.
