Angels Den Funding is Europe and UK’s largest angel-led finance platform that helps early stage companies and SMEs get easy access to growth capital in the shortest time span.
Established in 2007, we started as an online investment platform and built a trusted and coveted network of 21,000+ HNWIs and investors who invest in the companies we select. In 2022, we began to expand our offering beyond equity finance opening growth opportunities to all companies of different shapes and sizes.
We still adhere to our secret sauce of selecting companies for our equity offering, which has helped us maintain the trust amongst our investors, evident by 85% investment repeatability rate. Using Artificial Intelligence combined with our team’s vast experience, we are constantly improving our start-up selection process. Our mission is to ensure that investors have access to businesses that meet the highest standards.
Furthermore 92% of companies funded by Angels Den Funding are still in trade- much above the global industry standard.
Angels Den Funding carefully matches start-ups with a suitable lead investor before opening the funding to the wider network of investors.
Exclusive Investor Network We are unlike crowdfunding platforms that put companies for the access of general retail investors. We pride ourselves in catering to a network of 20,000+ HNI and UHNWIs. Our investors are businessmen with the right acumen and appetite, who bring relevant industry expertise and network to the table along with the capital. 85% of our investors follow-on in a startup’s next round and almost all invest exclusively only through Angels Den Funding. The average ticket size is £25k, with many investors investing more than £100K individually. |
Hybrid Financing Model Although we started an online investment platform, over the years we realized that not all companies are suited for private equity investments. That does not mean they should be rejected from access to growth capital. Hence, we decided to expand our offerings beyond equity financing options and tied up with industry leaders to provide early-stage companies and SMEs with alternative finance options. We do not have any upfront charges to entrepreneurs for using any of our alternative finance options. We have seen that smart entrepreneurs mix their fundraising between dilutive and non-dilutive options. This also helps investors gain more confidence as they like to invest in companies where cash-flow is smooth and untrapped. |
Super Support System We understand running a business can be complicated and confusing and for this reason choose to support founders along their journey. We are happy to talk about your business and explore the best funding options available. Besides you may need different ancillary services like support in Technology, Legal, Accountancy, Talent Acquisition, Compliance, Mentorship, etc. We are here to help you connect with the right resource pools so you can stay focused on building the product or service that your core business is. |
Robust Technology X Reliable Team We combine the latest technology with our team’s expertise to provide the best services. Our AI technology, built over a vast data-set across a decade and a half, evaluates companies and suggests the most fitting fundraising pathway. But we will always request a call to offer that human connection that technology cannot replace. This is largely why ADF has managed to keep its portfolio’s fatality rate to below 10%- A number that is significantly better than the global industry standard. We have a dedicated Investors Relations Team that has regular phone conversations and even in-person meetings with our investors to discuss the latest investment opportunities on our platform. We believe our tech-first mindset combined with our human approach towards founders, has made us the most trusted investment platform in UK and Europe. |
