We’ve grown our investor community from a small group of people passionate about North, to a network of over 100 angels from a range of backgrounds with an interest in emerging technologies. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive community open to all levels of investor, and we’re on a mission to connect visionary and dynamic business people together. In 2018, we partnered with the UK British Angels Association to attract experienced female business people into investment, and we’re proud to say the percentage of women in our network is above the national average for investment organisations, at 11%.
