Join the Exeter Innovation Accelerator Investor Network

Early-stage STEMM ventures. High-growth potential. Investor-ready.

The Exeter Innovation Accelerator supports around 24 ventures each year across the South West, from novel scientific discoveries finding their first commercial application to market-led founders solving unmet needs with knowledge-intensive businesses.

Before any venture reaches an investor conversation, they complete structured support covering strategy, governance, financial modelling, commercial law, due diligence preparation and investment strategy, backed by embedded Entrepreneurs and Advisors in Residence and the research infrastructure of the University of Exeter.

We are growing our investor network and looking to connect with angels and early-stage investors who believe that strong foundations and governance maturity make better long-term investments.
