Angel Capital Scotland will continue LINC Scotland’s role of supporting collaboration across the angel investment sector, including member syndicates, individual investors and industry partners.

Scotland’s angel syndicates support around 2,000 active business angels, who help leverage over £75 million into early stage scale up companies each year. Angel investors are an important part of the Scottish scale up ecosystem.

Recent Angel Capital Scotland member-backed success stories include Zonefox, Current Health, Blackford Analysis, Sunamp, Snappy Shopper, Cytomos, Dxcover, Administrate, and Trojan Energy.

Angel Capital Scotland has also secured Scottish Government funding to pilot a deal sharing platform for its angel syndicate members and selected partners, which is due to launch later in 2023. The platform will allow individual investors to view a range of curated investment opportunities already supported and part funded by experienced angels.

Angel Capital Scotland chief executive David Grahame said: “I’m delighted to be launching the new Angel Capital Scotland brand, created to increase visibility and recognition of the financial and advisory support given by business angels to Scotland’s high potential SMEs.

“The deal-sharing platform will provide a great opportunity to enhance collaboration and broaden investor participation in an area of key importance to the future of Scotland’s economy.”
