The Investment Catalyst: A showcase of chemistry-led innovation for the angel investment community

4 November 2020 10:00-11:30, United Kingdom


Introduction
The Å·ÃÀAV, in partnership with the UK Business Angels Association (UKBAA) present to you the 7th edition of the Investment Catalyst. The event will be held online on 4 November 2020, 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 Å·ÃÀAV's vast network of science entrepreneurs and UKBAA's community of leading investors.
 
Over the last four years, the Investment Catalyst has presented 47 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 £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 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
