FOOD SUPPLY COMPANY DEVELOPING GROUND-BREAKING CROP TECHNOLOGY TO PRESENT AT GEIF INVESTMENT DAY - December 04

Early stage companies from the food supply, biotech, internet and managed services sectors will be pitching funding proposals to business angels at the next GEIF Investment Day being held at Homerton College, Hills Road, Cambridge on Friday, 3 December.

Starting at 11.30, the event is aimed at facilitating and encouraging the business angel community and introducing early-stage companies seeking funding to potential investors. Presenting companies will have the chance to outline their business propositions via 10-minute elevator pitches, and then secondly engage in more in-depth discussion with interested angels during three break-out sessions after lunch.

Andrea Blakesley, a Director of GEIF said, "December's Investment Day offers another exciting opportunity for both investors and early stage companies alike. Companies presenting include a ground-breaking food supply company developing advancing crop technology for growers of organic salads, vegetables and tree seedlings, a recruitment management business offering the capture and distribution of video clip and CV information of candidates via a web based interface, a biopharmaceutical company developing a new treatment for psoriasis and an internet business which has developed a platform to enable the remote control and monitoring of security systems. We would be delighted to hear from individuals with a serious interest in early stage investment who would like to attend."

The event is being held on Friday, 3 December at Homerton College, Hills Road, Cambridge and is open to individuals across the UK seeking angel investment opportunities.

GEIF, part of the NW Brown Group, has worked with hundreds of early stage companies seeking growth capital from its business angel members. The group also has a £5 million co-investment fund, GEIF Ventures, established in order to co-invest alongside Great Eastern Investment Forum business angels into promising businesses. Events such as the regular Breakfast Meetings and Investment Days are part of GEIF's ongoing campaign, 'On the side of the angels', designed to demystify the activities of business angels, to encourage new angel investors and to support the existing angel investment community.
