New angel service is launched

by Catherine Woods - Tuesday, 2nd September 2008

New angel service is launched

This is the page

Rishi Anand says Venture Giant, which is built on an online platform, already has £20.5m worth of capital available and ready for investment.

“We have all watched Dragons' Den and many of us either feel the pain of how difficult it is for these innovative entrepreneurs to get the hard-to-find capital for their business ideas or aspire to be like the successful dragons on the show and want to be able to access these exciting start-up companies,” he says.

“Venture Giant was created to bridge this gap, make the deal flow sourcing process much easier and accessible and simply make it a win-win for all parties involved.”

Angel investment has increased in popularity in the UK of late with ventures such as Angels’ Den going from strength to strength.

Entrepreneurs like Alex Hoye have also spoken of their desire to give something back to the UK entrepreneurial community.
