Business North West invites attendees into the Den
04/09/2008
This year’s Business North West event offers growing businesses and budding entrepreneurs the chance to pitch to a panel of venture capitalists in the Angels Den. The Angels Den Theatre will provide a combination of informative seminars, networking and question sessions, as well as the pitching opportunity for investment.
Taking place across both days of the Business North West exhibition and conference, Angels Den offers a variety of formats for businesses to present, including a three minute speed pitch option. This comprises a three minute presentation of the ideas and financial requirements followed by a one minute question and answer session, where the investor has the chance to quiz the contestant. It’s then on to the next Angel on the panel.
Bill Morrow, Co-Founder of Angels Den, comments, “Angels Den fits perfectly into the format and the aims of Business North West – it helps developing companies gain useful advice and the opportunity to grow through financial backing and expert input. The Angels are constantly on the lookout for potential business people of the future and great ideas, and I am confident we will find these in North West.”
Scott Hider, Managing Director of Business North West, adds, “We are delighted to have the Angels Den on board for the show. Our objective is to help business people in the region to expand their ideas and develop their companies, and this is exactly what we can offer through Angels Den. Having the opportunity to pitch ideas to a panel of investors is an excellent way to accelerate growth and drive a business forward.”
Business North West is taking place on 19-20 November at Manchester Central. For further information or to register for free tickets, please visit www.businessnorthwest.co.uk
