Minerva, part of the University of Warwick Science Park, is a network of Business Angels with ten investment groups based in the Midlands, London, and Northwest. We work as a network of individuals with likeminded goals meeting regularly to discuss opportunities.
Through our institutional collaborations with the universities of Aston, Birmingham, Loughborough, Nottingham, Nottingham Trent, John Moores and Warwick Business School – London we deliver our investment groups and help facilitate access to any available support from these great institutions. With our other collaborators Sci-Tech Daresbury and Black Country Growth Hub, we have further extended our coverage and local support.
