Gateway to Investment for London based companies
Just discovered g2i – gateway2investment, which is an investment readiness programme for London based companies looking for equity investment, to assist with rapid growth.
As an entrepreneur, with a company in London, looking for investment, if you’re innovative, and looking to grow the company with an equity investment, then g2i might be able to help. I happened to discover it when reading the comments in an article that talked about Huddle, and how they were a part of a group who went out to Silicon Valley, called Web Mission 08. The g2i appears to offer training, advice, support and mentoring, aimed at helping companies develop their pitches, their propositions, and their teams, in order to become “investor ready”. They only target specific sectors, so before you go off all chirpy, make sure that you’re at least in one of the following industries:
- Design & Creative
- Life Sciences
- Emerging Technologies
- Energy & Environment
- ICT
- Food & Drink
- Value Added Manufacturing
- Retail
It actually looks like a pretty broad range, so hopefully you’ll be able to find a way to fit into one of those categories. I guess, aside from getting you ready for investors, the real benefit with g2i, is their network of investors, VC’s and business angels, which means they’ll be able to help you brush up on your pitch, and then help you walk through the door to the folks with money most suited to what you’re offering.
Seems like a win win situation to me! They have a great summary of the g2i journey, graphically depicting the different stages, and what’s on offer..
You can also read more about the g2i team, which is comprised of Grant Thornton UK LLP, Library House, E-Synergy, The Innovatory, Quotec, and Pembrige Partners LLP.
Altogether, g2i looks like a great outfit to go through, to help shape up the business, and get things rolling, especially if you’re during the growth phase of your company, and need the equity injection to help grow the business.
