TSW Angel Investor Programme Investor Showcase

Join us at COTIE (Centre of Technology and Innovation Excellence) to showcase a selection of the amazing businesses in and around the North Devon & Torridge area. 

Investment is key to many of the innovative businesses we have in the region, and so we'll be hearing from 4 companies looking to raise investment to fund their growth.

We'll also be hearing from Ben Cooper about the Angel Investor Programme - a project designed to increase the investment capacity in the region by identifying current Angel Investors, and finding people who are interested in becoming Angel Investors.

Ben Masheder from Innovate UK Business Growth will talk about the amazing support Innovate is providing to early stage businesses in the South West.

Dominie Dunbrook, North Devon Council: “North Devon and Torridge District Councils are excited to be working alongside the expertise within Tech South West to launch an Angel Investor Network."

Chris Fuller, Torridge District Council: “Fostering an entrepreneurial network of investors and investment-ready innovative businesses, the Angel Investor Network could transform the success of the your business. From start-up to high growth businesses.

"We want to engage the untapped resource within our communities to share wealth and business knowledge with the next generation of entrepreneurs and businesses.”

North Devon and Torridge District Councils are using some of their Shared Prosperity Funds to bring about this work.
