I am a director at Angel Investment Network. We have been going since 2004 and have 40 networks of angels around the world covering 90 countries. Across these networks entrepreneurs can register and put forward an investment pitch while investors register to get access to early stage high risk but potentially high reward investment opportunities. I joined in 2005 and since 2014 have headed up our broking team which works hand in hand with 2 startups (usually at Seed stage) per week to help them raise funds. In that time we have raised over £140m for 500 companies.
