Angel Investor Network

NTU and partners are on a mission to create a new Angel Investor Network coupled with investment ready businesses.

Our ambition is to foster an inclusive and sustainable funding ecosystem in Nottingham where investors and businesses connect, creating meaningful relationships that extend beyond financial transactions.

The programme is led by the NTU Enterprise Team at Dryden Enterprise Centre in Nottingham City Centre, supported by a range of partners and funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).

For Existing Investors and Aspiring Investors:

Together we’ll create a network for Nottingham that values diversity, celebrates success, and creates lasting connections.

You won’t just be investing; you'll be sharing knowledge and building a supportive group contributing to developing Nottingham's success and growth.

This programme aspires to cultivate an environment where every investor is developing businesses based in Nottingham with investments that are more than numbers; they are the catalysts for positive change.

For SMEs and Aspiring Entrepreneurs

We understand that exploring funding, finance and investment can be daunting, especially if you're just starting out. This programme aims to demystify the world of investments for aspiring entrepreneurs, regardless of background, fostering realistic aspirations for venture creation and growth.

What’s on offer:

  • Advice, coaching and mentoring and workshops for businesses and investors.
  • Creation of a mixed peer network through networking and knowledge-sharing events.
  • Opportunities for businesses to test investment pitches and receive feedback from the investor community.

Who Can Benefit:

Investors and SMEs in Nottingham (support for larger businesses at NTU's discretion)
