Thanks to Hatty Fawcett for sharing and Sam Simpson and FounderCatalyst for creating. Really interesting...

Dorset Business Angels is running a Lead Angel Investor Workshop on 30th September, 2.00 pm - 5.00 pm, in Bournemouth.

The lead angel investor...

✅ Plays a pivotal role in facilitating angel investment deals. 

✅ Anchors rounds by conducting thorough due diligence, negotiating terms, and bridging communications between entrepreneurs and the rest of the investing syndicate. 

✅ Drives the investment process forward through organisational skills and commitment to regular investor updates. 

When there is a strong lead investor at the helm, the remainder of the backers can participate confidently; deal negotiation is streamlined for entrepreneurs, and successful funding outcomes become more likely. 

🙌 Developing lead investor skills locally is key to unlocking more early-stage capital for promising ventures in our angel investing community.🙌

This interactive workshop, led by Don McQueen, will equip angel investors with the skills and knowledge needed to successfully lead investment rounds.

By participating, you will be able to step into leadership roles in deal facilitation, conduct organised due diligence, and bridge communications between all parties throughout the investment process.

The event is open to members and non-members and the link to book is within the comments below ⬇️

By doing so, you’ll be better positioned to find the support you need to grow and succeed, whether through angel investment or alternative funding sources.

Investors at the recent Dorset Business Angels pitch event were presented with a diverse range of companies seeking angel investment to accelerate their business growth. 

The event, held last Monday evening at the #Bournemouth Carlton Hotel, featured five pitches, with two companies generating interest from potential investors.

The standout pitch of the night came from a company that has developed a patent-pending product combining a lock and tracking device in a virtually indestructible unit. 

The founders, initially targeting the high-end motorbike and bicycle markets, aim to disrupt the outdoor security assets market with their ‘angle grinder-resistant’ solution.
