Angel investment in Cambridge
Cambridge produces more deep technology companies per capita than anywhere else in Europe. Cambridge Capital Group was founded in 2000 to connect private investors with the best of them.
Why Cambridge
The cluster combines a world-leading university, a dense concentration of research institutes and a forty-year history of commercialising science. Semiconductors, life sciences, AI and Advanced Materials all have deep local roots and the engineering talent to match.
For angels that means an unusual density of technically credible, IP-rich companies at the point where private capital matters most.
