Archangels’ David Ovens recalls winning Lead Syndicate of the Year at the 2018 UKBAA Angel Investment Awards

Continuing our series of interviews with past UKBAA Angel Investment Award winners, we recently caught up with David Ovens, Joint Managing Director of Archangels.

Archangels were the recipient of the Lead Syndicate of the Year award in 2018. Remembering back to the moment they won, David shares:

“The UK is a thriving ecosystem in terms of angel investing, so when you find out that you’ve won in the context of that ecosystem, it’s recognition that you must be doing something right. We were delighted when we find out that we’d won.”

Having noticed the impact of the award on Archangels, David believes that others in the ecosystem should consider submitting nominations for this year’s awards, which will be taking place online on 8th June.

“You certainly should consider submitting a nomination. The UK leads the world in angel investing and to be part of such a thriving ecosystem is a privilege. On top of that, to be recognised by your peers as as a leader in your category is something to cherish. My advice would be to think carefully about why you’ve made a difference, and if you have, then fill out that form.”
