Investment
Visionary entrepreneurs with innovative concepts or businesses seeking guidance and investment to scale their operations. With a portfolio of 65 companies and successful exits, our primary focus is on enterprises poised for rapid, exponential growth.
Our track record includes assisting numerous startups in securing funding. We advise on developing investor-friendly, streamlined, laser-focused pitch decks, avoiding unnecessary distractions. Effective marketing, branding, and strategic planning are as critical as the product or service in today’s business landscape.
We are always looking for smart/dynamic promoters with a good concept or business which needs mentoring/funds to scale up. With a portfolio of 65 companies and exits our interest is in companies where we can see a hockey stick growth trajectory.
We have helped several start-ups raise funds, advising on how to make decks investor-friendly and focused on avoiding “noise”. In the current business world marketing/branding/strategy is as important as the product/service itself.
We advise on a fee-basis or sweat/advisory equity basis where more strategic and regular mentoring is required. Please submit your deck and we’ll get in touch for an initial free 30-minute call if there is some interest.
Our network covers most verticals and our motivation is not purely financial. We can help with incubating and helping with technology/software development in exchange for a % of the company so we are as committed as you to growth.
Our focus as Angel investors is early-stage start-ups, with a reasonable valuation and looking to raise from £100,000 to £3 million.
Owners/promoters should be holding at least 75% equity. Ideally Co-founder business (not always easy to scale up fast alone).
We are well connected with some UK start-up funds and can make introductions to companies where we feel there is potential and SEIS funding allowance.
One of our companies has appeared on BBC’s Dragons Den and received offers from 2 of the Dragons. We later declined the offer and the company raised 10 times the amount for 5 times the valuation just 6 months later proving the point that fundraising decisions need thought and objectivity which experienced investors like myself can offer.
Starting a business can be an exciting, yet daunting endeavor. With the right guidance and advice, however, you can make the process of launching and growing your business much smoother.
Create a business plan developing a business plan is the first step in any successful start-up. It will serve as a roadmap for the future of your business, helping you to identify your goals, strategies, and objectives. Your business plan should include a detailed description of your business model, a market analysis, and a financial plan. It should also include a marketing strategy and a timeline for achieving your goals.
Having seen thousands of business plans/decks we can guide you on how to make an investor-friendly deck and save yourself and potential investors time. Many decks have too much noise or omit key facts which will be asked anyway.
Some questions to ask yourself and seek advice on :-
- Are you SEIS / EIS eligible ?
- Why does an investor care about the tax incentives ?
- What questions do Angel Investors ask ?
- What if the benefit of Angel investors as opposed to a Fund ?
- When will VC funds look at my business ?
- Do I need to be profitable ?
