Members benefit from Minerva’s strong emphasis on quality and preparation and companies enjoy an ongoing relationship with Minerva’s management and network.
Typically we see emerging and growing businesses with a strong, innovative market proposition seeking funds for commercialisation and established businesses wishing to raise investment for expansion. We often leverage our angels’ investment to attract capital from other funding sources to create a package that best meets the company’s needs. Minerva enjoys excellent relationships with a number of banks, Venture Capital houses and other business angel groups.
Getting more involved
Active Member
If you prefer to be an active member and see companies present with a group of other investor members, taking part in discussions afterwards, or volunteering to join an investigation into a proposition, then joining one of the seven investor groups, for which there is an annual fee may be right for you.
The groups meet monthly to view up to 3 companies followed by a light buffet lunch and a chance for a more informal chat with the prospective investee companies.
