Lives in: Derby

 

Works: Derby and the East Midlands

 

At work: Running Angels Den for the East Midlands. This involves advising entrepreneurs how best to secure angel investment, reviewing business plans and offering advice on pitching whilst liaising with Angel Investors to find projects best suited for them.

 

Why: Angels Den is well established, not only in the UK but internationally too. With a unique tried and tested method of linking entrepreneurs to investors, Angels Den can really help East Midlands based entrepreneurs secure the funding and or support they need to grow their business, driving the East Midlands Economy forward.

 

The Company:  Angels Den links entrepreneurs seeking investment to high net worth individuals (Angel Investors) looking for great investment opportunities, both Angels and Entrepreneurs register on the Angels Den website (www.angelsden.com).

 

Once membership has been paid, entrepreneurs then get the opportunity to submit a business plan and attend a pitching school and attend a unique Speed Funding Event. A bit like speed dating, Speed Funding allows entrepreneurs 3minutes to pitch their business idea to each investor.

 

After work: Lots of exercise, watching Rugby and visiting the pub occasionally!
