Cambridge Angels equip generations of entrepreneurs to generate returns and help realise their full potential. They have a strong ethos of backing merit and supporting entrepreneurship.

Their members, most of whom are successful entrepreneurs, invest in a wide range of start-up and scale-up businesses with a particular focus on deep-tech, and tools and technologies supporting healthcare.

Members and previous Chairs

The current chair of Cambridge Angels is Pam Garside. Previous Chairs include Robert Sansom,[8] David Cleevely, John Yeomans,[9] Peter Cowley[10] and Simon Thorpe.

Cambridge Angels is a group of more than 60 high-net worth investors who have proven experience as successful entrepreneurs. Members invest in and mentor high quality start-up and early-stage companies in Cambridge, London, Oxford and throughout the UK.

Typical funding requirements that Cambridge Angels meet are in the range of £150k to £1.5m - although it is worth noting that several of their portfolio companies have raised significant follow-on funding from their Members and their venture capital partners over several funding rounds.

Their Members have been responsible for a large number of the “Cambridge Phenomenon” success stories over recent years. Therefore, in addition to providing funding for early-stage companies, Cambridge Angels also offer start-ups the considerable benefit of a wide range of expertise, contacts and directly relevant experience in establishing and growing entrepreneurial businesses successfully.
