Investment thesis

The Regional Angels Programme aims to increase the aggregate early stage equity capital available to high-growth smaller businesses across the UK, addressing regional disparities in funding access. It invests alongside angel investor partners to raise the profile and professionalism of angel investment and to attract additional third-party capital while targeting a market rate of return. Beyond co-investing with angel partners, the programme may make direct investments into high-performing companies with strong disruption potential, supporting Series A rounds and later stages. It is backed by government funding and delivered through a network of delivery partners across the UK.
