Who we are
We fund bright ideas.
Founded in 2016 by Professor Adam Beaumont and aligned with the Northern Powerhouse, NorthInvest is a not for profit organisation which provides straight-talking, free, expert, investment readiness advice to individual startups and to groups of founders via our network of partners.
We're a leading angel network, where new investors are always welcomed with a smile and all our angels are provided with access to the high-quality education they need to be effective.
‘Providing entrepreneurs and SMEs with the investment and resources they need to expand and flourish is fundamental to the success of the Northern Powerhouse. That’s why it’s so encouraging to see NorthInvest reaffirming their commitment to the region by supporting startup tech and digital businesses to attract investment, grow their companies and successfully compete in the global economy.’
