UKBAA Angel Investment Awards 2023 – find out who the winners are

The UKBAA Angel Investment Awards 2023 took place at Illuminate at The Science Museum in London on Thursday 6th July 2023.

The evening brought together 400 key players in the early-stage ecosystem to celebrate the outstanding achievements of angels, early stage VCs and the innovators they back! Over the course of the evening the winners of our 16 categories were announced and attendees enjoyed a superb three-course meal.
