Nelson will be drawing on his experience of Angel Syndication in Scotland and across Europe to talk on the subject:

Harmonizing Syndication and Cross-Border Investment

The syndication movement is not new – but how do we make the process more efficient for angels and entrepreneurs, ensuring the speed angel groups need to get the best deals?

Individual and groups of Business Angels are increasingly syndicating together to support companies for longer, and with larger amounts of cash to help them reach their full potential and drive grater rewards for investors and for entrepreneurs. Learn the best practices to make this work, traps to avoid and trikes to ensure alignment of common goals over the long term.

Nelsons Key note speech will highlight the prominent global position Scotland has achieved in Angel Investing for early stage, high growth potential companies. With investment levels equivalent to £5 per head of population, and increasing 15% year on year, compared to just 54 pence in France and 46 pence in Italy, deal sizes equivalent to the mean in the USA, and individual group investing activity matching the most active in North America, the organisational structure of angel groups in Scotland, combined with strong national and regional government support provides one of the best funding environments in the world.
