I don't advise you start paying someone to help. I had the advantage of spinning technology out from a university, so I had IP and some connections into 'angel investor' groups. Some angels will offer mentoring to people pursuing promising ideas a) for fun and b) for a chance to be offered some shares later. There are quite a lot of angel syndicates in the UK which you could pitch to. I'm based in Glasgow, but in Edinburgh there are quite a few - Equity Gap and Par Equity are pretty active. You could try approaching them. A smaller one in Glasgow is Gabriel Investment Syndicate. Do you have an idea of how much you need?
- tixocloud 8y agoThanks. Yes, I felt quite skeptical about the whole setup of requesting a retainer before fundraising. How do I pitch to these angel syndicates? Neat. My work is based in Glasgow - I'm seeking roughly £70k to give me a runway for about a year. I'm trying to connect with the various incubators to see if they're able to help as well. Thanks for your advice.
