Investors

Join Over 120 Business Angel Members

If you’re already angel investing, or just wondering if it’s right for you, we’re a very friendly bunch who are happy to help.

We’re a supportive community and you will get to meet with like-minded people from all walks of life.

Most of our members are either exited founders or working high earners. They are looking for ways to be involved in exciting early stage companies by supporting funding and expertise, taking advantage of the generous SEIS/EIS tax allowances (more info here). Some are experienced investors but many are new to angel investing and want to sit on the sidelines for a while and learn before investing, which we fully encourage.

As a member of Angel Investors Bristol you'll benefit from:

  • Curated Deal Flow: Gain access to a carefully selected pipeline of high-potential startups seeking funding.

  • Networking Events: Attend exclusive events and workshops, connecting with entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and fellow investors.

  • Social Events: With a good community spirit, we enjoy a good community of people with a variety of interests.

  • Educational Resources: Expand your knowledge with our library of resources, designed to enhance your understanding of angel investing and startup success.

  • No fees: We currently offer members free membership. Our running costs are covered by charging founders an introducers fee on completion of funding.

How We Work

We receive between 30-50 applications for funding each month and have a robust process to select one or two businesses that we believe will appeal to the membership. We only consider businesses that we would invest in ourselves. We like businesses with high scalability, robust defendability, good value and most importantly, a solid founder team that we feel can drive a company forwards with confidence.

We like to get together monthly for live pitch events and socialise. Sometimes we also have on-line pitches if appropriate. Members are completely free to invest what they want when they want, there is absolutely no obligation to invest.

On average, we raise around £180-£220k per company, over 18-22 members, so an average of £10k per member, but individuals can invest from £1k upwards.

All investable businesses must be SEIS/EIS approved so that investors can receive tax benefits where appropriate.
