Welcome to our monthly newsletter; in light of the current scrutiny on sustainability, join us for our upcoming pitch events, firstly with a topical focus on Tech for Good and secondly a co-hosted event with EVE, driving opportunity for the female investor. We are also pleased to share our recent involvement in UKBAA’s Invest in Creative Deep Dive Fashion event, as well as our involvement later this month in Tech Tour Energy Transition 2021. Tech Tour is one of the largest investor-orientated communities in Europe connecting high-tech companies and investors at 25 events each year.  This year Prime Advantage Capital Partners were invited to participate and Mark Teevan, our Dublin-based Partner, joined the selection committee of Tech Tour Energy Transition. From 160 nominated companies, 30 finalists have been selected and invited to attend an in-person event in Rotterdam on 17th and 18th November, where they will present to some of Europe’s largest investors and have the opportunity for one 2 one sessions. Mark, and Managing Partner Brian Farrugia, are part of the coaching team that are guiding the finalists through this process.  We are delighted to report that three clients have made it through to participate in Rotterdam.

Having been invited to be part of the DCMS Invest in Creative Toolkit earlier this year, Managing Partner and lead Consumer Partner, Greg Tufnell joined True Global and Cornerstone Partners on the panel at the UKBAA’s Invest in Creative Deep Dive Fashion event. The webinar was attended by a wide range of angel investors, angel groups, VC investors and entrepreneurs. It was also well-timed, with the DCMS being allocated additional funding under the previous week’s Chancellor’s Spending review. This will allow the Creative Scale-up programme and notably, the Creative Investor Toolkit, to reach further Creative Clusters and businesses around the UK, providing access to the funding they need.
