Who are the movers and shakers who are making life infinitely better for angels?

In our view it is these people!

1.  Stuart Lucas and Iain Baillie, Asset Match 

Why?

Co Founders of the award winning Asset Match which offers angels a chance to exit before the Exit by trading their shares in their angel investments on the Asset Match exchange. 

2.  Oliver Woolley, Scott Haughton and Nick Taylor and the team at Envestors

Why?

Uptake of the Envestors myedash platform is staggering.  Dozens of new private investor clubs are springing up all over the UK thanks to the neat myedash platform - from golf clubs to businesses.  Never has it been so easy to invest with your friends and share dealflow. 

3.  Darren Westlake, Luke Lang, Jeff Lynn, Goncalo de Vasconcelos, Tom Britton, Lasse Mäkelä and Tony Nazareth (amongst others!)

Why?

Between them the founders of the strongest Equity Crowdfunding platforms, CrowdCube, Seedrs, Syndicate Room, Invesdor and CrowdforAngels are doing an enormous amount for the angel industry – not for dealflow, but because they are providing transparency on high volumes of deals to help you understand what new ideas are out there and who may come knocking on your door soon.

4.  Toby Austin and Stephen Bence

Why?

The CoFounders of Beauhurst have revolutionised the availability of deal data in the early stage market.  The Beauhurst newsletter is a must subscribe and a regular visit to the blog essential if you want to know what is going on in the market.

AND LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST

5.  Philip Hammond

Why?

As Chancellor of the Exchequer who will oversee our withdrawal from the EU, Mr Hammond will play possibly the most important role in a generation in establishing the framework for angel investment once the UK is independent.  Will he or won't he copy and paste the current State Aid based rules behind SEIS and EIS investing or will he have the confidence to shape schemes in a new way which optimises the opportunitities for angel and entrepreneur alike?
