The ÂÜÀòÉç, in partnership with the UK Business Angels Association (UKBAA) present to you the 8th edition of the Investment Catalyst. The event will be held online on 12 May 2021, with 8 companies selected to pitch following a competitive application series.
Our joint aim is to connect the UK’s leading chemistry-focused start-ups and scale-ups with angel and early stage investors through the ÂÜÀòÉç's vast network of science entrepreneurs and UKBAA's community of leading investors.
Over the last five years, the Investment Catalyst has presented 55 leading innovators using chemistry to revolutionise life sciences, energy supply, construction, food and drink, the automotive industry and more. We have seen our cohort of businesses raise a total of £4.5m 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 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.
Registration for the event is free
