Your country needs you(r) investment

Everybody in the financial world understands how the markets have reacted to the Coronavirus crisis and largely why they have reacted.  Many investors are sitting on cash or nervous about long-term planning.  However, your country needs your investment – in particular the innovative sectors supported by the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) need your support.

20 Thoughts from 20 years of Angel Investing

Simon Blakey gives us the benefit of his 20 years experience as an Angel Investor.

1st January 2000: Y2K hadn’t happened (look it up…), the first dot.com boom was at its peak and I, as a young and naive 26 year-old, sat down in a Regus office in Hammersmith and said ‘right, I’m going to be a business angel investor’. With zero corporate finance experience and being about 30 years younger than the average angel investor at that time, it was a (very) fast learning experience.

Now, 20 years later, I have invested in over 35 companies in 75 funding rounds with eight profitable exits to date (with a similar number of failures) and am well ahead return-wise. I also have more experience than I had back then, but I am forever grateful to people such as Nitin and Milan Shah (founder of Pepe Jeans), James Gordon of Gordon Solicitors and Modwenna Rees-Mogg of AngelNews for their guidance and support in those initial years (and of course my amazing brother Michael, who I have angel invested with throughout this time under the Avonmore Developments umbrella).

Fresh ideas and new friends for 2020

During recent meetings with angel friends of mine, I discovered some common ground between them of  which I was previously unaware.  It seems that many angel investors are also pension fund trustees or at the very least have considerable experience of setting up pension funds on behalf of the staff of their own companies or perhaps those of their most successful investees.
