Joining an angel network in the UK
If you are considering angel investing, joining an established network is usually the fastest route to quality deal flow and better decisions. Here is what membership involves and how to join Cambridge Capital Group.
Who can join
Angel networks in the UK are open to investors who qualify as high net worth individuals or self-certified sophisticated investors under FCA rules. Beyond that, networks look for members who bring judgement, sector experience or operating history as well as capital.
What membership gives you
Membership of Cambridge Capital Group is built around access: to screened opportunities, to fellow investors, and to the founders themselves.
- Regular pitch sessions with companies that have already passed screening
- Shared due diligence and syndicate leads who negotiate terms
- Direct contact with founders before you commit
- A community of private investors and family offices with deep technical and commercial experience
How the process works
You get in touch, we talk about what you are looking for and confirm eligibility. You then attend a pitch session as a guest to see how the group operates before committing to membership.
