Fostering Innovation,
Driving Investment
Together we rise
Learn, discover and invest in the future generation of high growth companies
The Cornwall Angel Network fosters connections between ambitious founders and forward-thinking investors, with the aim of growing the regional economy. As a private members network of exited founders, high net worth individuals and sophisticated investors with a vested interest in supporting the growth of Cornwall’s economy, we seek to create an investment experience that is efficient, supportive and rewarding for all parties involved. High-growth, early-stage companies are invited to pitch to members of the network at regular private investor showcase meetings through the year. Thanks to public funding, the Network does not charge membership fees to angel investors. Instead, members pledge to make one investment in their first year. For founders, this means the opportunity to raise capital without paying a success fee.
