Angels Den

Angels Den is a prominent angel-led crowdfunding platform based in London, United Kingdom, established in 2007 by Bill Morrow. The platform's core mission is to bridge the gap between ambitious, high-growth businesses and a vast network of angel investors. Unlike traditional venture capital firms, Angels Den leverages a crowdfunding model, allowing multiple individual angels to co-invest in promising startups and scale-ups, thereby democratizing access to early-stage capital.

The platform operates by vetting businesses seeking funding and then presenting them to its extensive network of registered angel investors, which reportedly included over 6,000 angels at one point. Angels Den facilitates this connection through various means, including online deal flow and organized pitching events, where entrepreneurs can present their ventures directly to potential investors. Businesses typically look to raise between £150,000 and £5 million through the platform, indicating a focus on companies with significant growth potential that are beyond the very earliest seed stage.

Since its inception, Angels Den has played a significant role in the UK's startup ecosystem, claiming to have helped businesses raise over £60 million in funding. For individual angel investors participating on the platform, typical first cheque sizes generally range from £5,000 to £50,000. This flexible investment structure allows both seasoned angels and those newer to the asset class to participate, contributing to a diverse pool of capital and expertise for the funded companies. The platform's longevity and stated impact underscore its position as a key facilitator of angel investment in the UK.
