EVELYN PARTNERS TO EMPOWER ASPIRING ANGEL INVESTORS

Evelyn Partners, the professional services group, has teamed up with impact investment platform, Ethical Equity, to support its Aspiring Angel Investor Programme. The comprehensive programme is designed to empower emerging investors and equip them with the knowledge and resources needed to navigate the world of angel investing in early-stage businesses making a positive social impact.

Having Evelyn Partners’ professional service team sponsors the programme has been key to bolstering the resources available to ambitious investors across the UK. Designed to create a safe space for aspiring investors in early-stage enterprises, the programme provides access to valuable experience, the opportunity to build a network, and the chance begin their contributions to the world of ethical investing.

With the support of Evelyn Partners’ professional services team providing funding, experience, and expertise, the ‘Aspiring Angels’ programme offers investors a host of benefits. Those enrolled onto the programme will get six months of access to the cutting-edge AI Simulator, an artificial intelligence tool allowing investors to safely simulate investment decisions and exclusive entry into the Ethical Equity Aspiring Angels Investors UK group, an online forum for businesses, investors, and experts.

Aspiring angel investors will also benefit from a series of three online workshops led by industry professionals, covering crucial topics like the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS/EIS), private markets introduction, and legal and financial considerations.

Finally, thanks to the partnership, the programme will provide unparalleled access to the renowned professional services team at Evelyn Partners during programme events, gaining valuable insights into the investment journey, and free membership in the inclusive Ethical Equity 1000 Club, a diverse collective within the angel investor community.

Ali Kazmi, CEO and Founder of Ethical Equity, said:

“In a landscape that’s been challenged by a lack of information, a lack of diversity, and a lack of opportunity, we’re incredibly proud to be opening the doors of angel investment to those who may not have considered it or been able to before.

“The Aspiring Angel Investor Programme is integral to making the investment space more accessible and giving new investors the best chance to succeed. With only 2% of funding going to female founded businesses in the UK each year – and less than 1% to ethnic minority entrepreneurs, the landscape is bleak. In order to change and challenge these stats, we know that we need to get a better range of people into angel investment. 

“Having support from a renowned name like Evelyn Partners is a fantastic step in empowering those new to the world of investment. Their sponsorship, time, and expertise are now an integral part of the curriculum and we’re thrilled to have them on board.”

Helen Bassett, managing partner at Evelyn Partners adds:

“Ethical Equity’s mission is to empower and nurture a community of 1,000 new impact investors by 2025. This aligns with our regional focus in the professional services team to support a more accessible access point into angel investing, as well as to create a pool of investors who support the vision of a diverse investing landscape.

“Being able to back the team at Ethical Equity through sponsorship of the Aspiring Angel Investment Programme is a crucial step in empowering aspiring angel investors with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to truly thrive. Along with the Ali and the team, we can’t wait to see how these diverse teams take their angel investing to the next level; supporting and encouraging the next, diverse generation of aspiring entrepreneurs in the region .”

The programme will support the UK’s 15,000 strong angel investment market, aiming to empower those at the beginning of their investment journey.
