FounderCAN – Launch of Cornwall Angel Network

Are you a start-up or scale-up business based in Cornwall and seeking investment?

Apply to join us at the official launch of the Cornwall Angel Network* to showcase your business to potential investors. Oxford Innovation (Access to Finance/Founder Collective) is our Finance Readiness Partner and their team will contact you to assess your pitch readiness. Based on their evaluation, they will either recommend you attend or offer you support to prepare you for a future pitch event. If approved, you’ll join the lunchtime exhibition and deliver a one-minute elevator pitch to a community of investors seeking to invest in exciting businesses like yours. Four lucky businesses will be selected by the event partners to do a full pitch in front of investors and judges. After pitches there will be opportunities for ‘ad-hoc’ meetings with investors and networking.

Judges will include:

• Stephen Welton, Chair, British Business Bank
• Rod Beer, Managing Director, UK Business Angels Association (UKBAA)
• Laura Whyte, Chair, Cornwall Chamber of Commerce
• Andrew Finley, Commercial Director, Oxford Innovation
• Dennis Lucan, Investment Portfolio Manager, Falmouth University
•  

Refreshments and lunch will be provided.

Venue and lunch kindly sponsored by The Innovation Nursery – Cornwall.

This event is part of Business Finance Week, hosted by British Business Bank.
