Launched in May 2018, Angels Invest Wales is helping to grow the angel community in Wales, connecting entrepreneurs seeking finance and expertise with business angels and syndicates. 

We work with our ‘registered’ investors, businesses in Wales and professional advisers and referrers, including banks, accountants and legal experts, as well as local authorities and the Welsh Government.

What sets us apart

To help match angel investors and businesses we have an online investment platform.

It allows businesses to upload deal information to the platform, showcasing directly to registered high-net-worth individuals while also providing investors with an easy and accessible source of business opportunities to review at any time. 

Opportunity to take part in regular investment forums to help connect companies with angel investors through face-to-face introductions. 

We can match potential syndication partners from our 300+ investor network, enhanced by being part of the Development Bank of Wales.

The £8million Wales Angel Co-Investment Fund provides Welsh business with a key source of alternative finance through the encouragement of more active angel investment. The five-year fund supports the creation of angel syndicates and networks across Wales by providing loans and equity up to £250,000 to investors looking for co-investment.

 

Your questions answered

We broker deals, and ‘showcase’ investment opportunities which means we don’t act for either the investor or business seeking investment.

Investors and businesses seeking investment must undertake their own due diligence.

We can offer general guidance on making a business more attractive to investors and provide ‘signposting’ to organisations that can assist with relevant investor readiness advice.

While we don’t offer financial, legal or other business advice we can provide details of professional advisers who can help.
