Investment Criteria
MARKET OPPORTUNITY
We invest in solutions that address major problems for significantly large target markets (i.e. a market size of £100m+). Our members have a preference for B2B markets. Your company must demonstrate a strategy to claim significant market share or revenue. There are plenty of great business ideas - but not all businesses will generate returns that justify angel investor funding.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Funds must be used to accelerate your company’s achievement of key milestones that increase the company’s value. We often fund activities that include research and product development, building a sales and marketing infrastructure and hiring key executives
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Your company must have some proprietary features that distinguish you from potential competitors or provide barriers to entry that prevent other companies from capturing your customers with a similar offering. Attributes that convey competitive advantage include intellectual property protection, key know-how, and scarce human resources
MANAGEMENT TEAM
We look for teams with great entrepreneurial potential as shown by your prior business, academic or entrepreneurial ventures. We also look at your team’s passion for and commitment to the new business idea, and your ability to inspire confidence among future stakeholders, including employees, potential customers, and investors. As we will be working together as partners, your team’s credibility is essential.
TECHNOLOGY
We prefer to invest in first-of-a-kind new ideas, rather than incremental enhancements to common products and services. Our members have a preference for deep-tech or IP-rich technology, as well as the convergence between technology and healthcare. Is this a nice-to-have, or a need-to-have product or service? However, we approach highly complex, esoteric technologies with caution. The concept behind the technology must be proven and verifiable. Further, we avoid science projects that don’t demonstrate a clear path to commercialisation.
EXIT STRATEGY
Our Members typically seek returns of at least ten times their initial investment, within seven years. This level of return on investment is essential due to the high risk and likelihood of failure among early stage ventures. Thus, a clearly articulated exit strategy - how angel investors will gain such returns - is essential.
