Local Champion

Stuart Brown has worked with start-up, early-stage and high-growth technology businesses across the UK and Europe for the past 18 years, helping unlock investment from regional and national investors, plus connecting major influencers, investors and other key ecosystems across the North of the UK.
Stuart has led the raising of over £9m equity investment into 15 early-stage tech startup businesses (SEED to pre-Series A) via angel/HNWI investors, angel networks, family offices and early-stage venture capital funds from across the UK. Stuart is passionate about growing the tech economy in Northern England and helping founders navigate the fragmented regional early-stage funding landscape. As part of the angel group NorthInvest Stuart led numerous investments, including the largest exit achieved to date.
Founding Partner of Sixth Wave Ventures – an angel investment group with a focus on backing startups tackling the world’s fundamental problems. A true connector, Stuart is leading the development of the health innovation ecosystem in Leeds. He was involved in the creation of the startup ecosystem at Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park, including the JUMP accelerator.
The Leeds Angel Hub will operate to connect investors across West Yorkshire but more importantly enable syndication/co-investment with other angel groups/syndicates across the UK – a key driver in catalysing more early-stage investment into great startups from the regions.
