Investment Criteria

Cambridge Capital Group is a business angel network comprised of private investors, family offices, and venture funds that have been investing in technology startups across the Golden Triangle since 2001. We screen opportunities between the seed and series A stage, raising from £150,000 to £2m in S/EIS eligible equity financing. Please note that we generally refrain from investing in consumer focused businesses, unless the solution is clearly defensible, well-differentiated and operating in an attractive market.

How it works:

  • Submit your proposal via our contact form
  • As we review your application, our analysts may get in touch for any additional information.
  • You will be notified of how you did in the screening process.
  • If successful you will be invited to participate in an upcoming CCG Pitch event.
  • We hold monthly online pitching events and quarterly face-to-face pitching events.

"The CCG management team really took the time to get to know us (the founders) and our business before inviting us to participate in one of their prestigious pitch events. I appreciate that this pre-screening allows CCG to only accept companies which match the high quality standards and interests of their discerning membership." (2018 portfolio company founder)
