WeLcome to investor ladder

 

Investor Ladder was created to help improve the entire investment and innovation landscape across the UK. We do this by bringing together key individuals from industry, innovation and investment to discuss challenges, opportunities and high-quality deal flow and help international investors navigate the UK ecosystems through collaborations and partnerships.

We are now one of the UK’s largest networks of equity investors ranging from individual Angels though Venture Capital to Early-Stage Private Equity and Investment Banks. Through regular events, meetings and roundtables, we’re able to discuss industry and regional challenges and facilitate introductions between industry, innovation, and investment.

As a result, we’ve been able to connect the most exciting, high growth businesses with the most active, high-quality investors.

Membership is by invite only for individuals and organisations from across the globe who are actively involved in building, scaling, and investing in science and tech start-up businesses.  

 
 

How it works

Our informal investor lunches provide a real opportunity to meet, build and extend individual networks and discuss industry level challenges.  

Ongoing, open dialogues ensure members gain access to relevant investment opportunities and exchange ideas to help investors scale their portfolio companies.

Our deal platform helps deals to flow even outside of our in person events and networking, assisting technology driven businesses to achieve high velocity growth, by providing access to the right kind of funding and support for them.

 

Praise for Investor Ladder

“..a fantastic event! Great ideas, great people, great venue”
— Jennifer Byrne - Former CTO, Microsoft
“I just wanted to drop a note to say how fantastic the Investor Ladder event was a few weeks ago. I’d been chatting to a Manchester based startup prior to the event (they’ve already raised £3m investment and currently about to go out to raise £7m). The startup’s CEO was blown away by the welcoming attitude in Belfast, access to key networks and the supportive nature of many of those in the ecosystem here. 

Events like this really showcase the best of our wonderful city and we’re all so busy we forget to stop and reflect. That Manchester based startup has one of their staff now working in Belfast and on the back of the Investor Ladder event are looking at putting more jobs here. So I just wanted to drop you a line to say well done on what was a great event, and keep up the amazing work.”
— John Ferris, Department for Business & Trade - Northern Ireland
“For networking this is the bomb!”
— Caroline Monk - Variety
