Current Investment Opportunities

TechSpark has shared some current investment opportunities with us, please see below.

Are you raising investment at the moment? The Quarterly Investment Briefing (QIB) can help!

The QIB Investment Activator Programme led by TechSPARK and supported by 7 public and private sector sponsors (TLT LLP, Smith & Williamson, delaware, Rocketmakers, UWE, Sanderson, Engine Shed, West of England Combined Authority) runs every three months and would like you to submit your one-pager for the next meeting in September.

1. Submit your one-pager to Quarterly Investment Briefing

Please share your one-pager for the next Quarterly Investment Briefing. This will be shared with c. 300 investors and enablers of investment either at the event or via our newsletter and password protected platform. You'll find all the information you need and a link here: https://www.scaleupgenerator.co.uk/articles/qib-101 (deadline COP 14 Sept). 

Please note:

• Submitting a full pitch deck is optional, we just need a one page summary of your proposition.

• We're using a new platform to collate the one pagers this time, from Invest West so you'll need to make an account to submit.

2. Practice your pitch and learn from others at Virtual PitchMe 

We are running a regular, online pitch sesion which gives founders an opportunity to practice their pitch, to receive constructive feedback or to try out a new approach to a long-standing pitch. The three selected companies pitching will receive live feedback from a panel of experts and for those of us in the audience, we have the chance to learn from others and share our thoughts. 

If you would like to participate and receive feedback on your pitch, or attend the next event on 9th September, contact Abby to apply to pitch: IAP@techspark.co or sign up to watch and learn: https://hopin.to/events/techspark-pitch-me-5d34050a-20cc-4522-ba33-a3c5621cdfc6
