The ÂÜÀòÉç and UK Business Angels Association (UKBAA) have once again partnered to connect the UK’s leading chemistry-focused start-ups and scale-ups with angel and early stage investors! Now in its fourth year, the Investment Catalyst has presented 40 leading innovators using chemistry to revolutionise life sciences, energy supply, construction, the automotive industry and more. To date, the Investment Catalysts’ cohort of businesses have raised a total of £3m in funding from attending investors, and we’re thrilled to have seen an incredible exit from one of our finalists at a phenomenal £623m!
The next Investment Catalyst event will be held in London on 28 January 2020, ​​bringing together the ÂÜÀòÉç's vast network of science entrepreneurs and UKBAA's community of leading investors. After a competitive application series, 8 companies will be selected to present their pitch for investment to over 50 angels and leaders in the investment community.
The event is open to investors, angel syndicates and groups and VC funds. If you do not fit into one of these categories we reserve the right to cancel your registration.
