About Growth Investment

"An entrepreneurial culture requires an openness to and understanding of how to raise finance".

Who we are

We’re a not for profit organisation sponsored by the East Midlands Development Agency and funded by our members’ subscriptions. Our members include top industry specialists and leading organisations in the East Midlands. Together we form a powerful network of support for entrepreneurs, in which experts work together to get business propositions funded.

We do 3 things.

We make business owners aware of the possibilities of raising investment.
We help you find out more, develop your interest and when you are ready direct you to the most appropriate source of further support, advice and funding amongst our network of specialists.

We manage a collaborative and cohesive network of organisations that support and/or fund growth companies.
Basically everybody you need to get a deal done sits in our network and they all have extensive experience of doing deals. If you work in deal making and aren't part of the network then we'd love to hear from you.

We work hard to maximise the availability of funds.
We run the Angel Insight programme to support high net worth individuals considering business angel investing and we talk to venture capital firms from outside the region to encourage them to look to at the fantastic deal opportunities in our region.

How we do it.

We do this through this website, a programme of events, a regular newsletter and wide ranging PR and marketing.
The education section of this website has introductory articles on raising finance as well as an ever growing library of articles written by our specialists on a range of related issues. It also has all the growth investment news from around the region (news and features section), details of events held by us and others (events section) and profiles and contact details for our network of specialists (members section).

We also run members only networking events to ensure that the network is well integrated and the members work collaboratively on supporting growth investment deals.
