Access to Funding

Since 1996 Nelson has made over 20 personal 'angel' investments in new and developing companies.
These include;

  • Tissue Science Laboratories (life sciences, floated on AIM in 2002)
  • Optos (medical devises, main market flotation February 2006)
  • Oregon (timber frame house manufacturer, now with a turnover of over £15m)
  • I Play (games for mobile devices)
  • Scapa (software)
  • Excell Biotech (manufacture of monoclonal antibodies and other material for clinical trials, sold to Q Biogene of Canada in 2002).

"From our first meeting, we were impressed by the manner in which Nelson approached the task in hand; namely how our company might develop our pitch for investment funding. Nelson demonstrated a high level of professionalism, industry knowledge and expertise coupled with an enthusiasm and generosity of spirit that we found inspiring.
Our sessions with Nelson proved to be an extremely rewarding and enlightening experience that I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone who is genuinely seeking straight forward, no nonsense analysis, advice and guidance about issues concerning their business."
