Mint Ventures is running free roadshows across Scotland to make angel investment accessible to women from all backgrounds
Mint Ventures, a women-led angel investment group which offers a fresh approach to raising early-stage
capital by democratising angel investment for women, is running a series of free roadshows with angel
groups across Scotland to make angel investment accessible to women from all backgrounds. Our
roadshows offer real insights into angel investing, for potential women investors and entrepreneurs alike
within a safe-space environment for us all to learn, ask questions and be inspired by like minded supportive
women. Join us at one of our regional roadshows (details below).
Despite women globally holding 60% of the world’s wealth, only 12% of business angels in Scotland are
women. Our mission is to change that and for more women to make their own investment decisions,
investing their own capital whilst supporting Scottish women entrepreneurs. At Mint Ventures we invest in
products and services to meet the needs and interests of women with a social, ethical or environmental
purpose and actively encourage women members to also join other angel investment groups, who we work
in partnership with, as well as with the wider entrepreneurial support ecosystem.
During the roadshows we will provide de-jargonised gender-specific training on the following topics:
- tax relief benefits
- developing transferable skills to support companies to grow
- due dilligence
- governance
These topics will engage the audience in active discussions like how you can claim up to 50% of your
investment back in tax relief, how you can invest from as little as 2,000 per deal and how companies are
fairly valued at an early stage whilst receiving the right support at the right stage throughout their growth
journey.
The Roadshows will operate as two parallel sessions at each event, one for entrepreneurs and one for
potential investors, giving an overview in layman’s terms about angel investment and how it can support
more women led and diverse companies to grow and scale. A short programme is outlined below:
- 4.30pm – Registration, coffee and networking
- 5.00pm – Sessions commence
- 6.00pm – Collaborative networking session (1 hour) with both groups giving the opportunity to meet
existing angels and entrepreneurs - 7.00pm – Close
