Chairman Of The Board

2020

Family offices and UHNW individuals face significant barriers-to-entry when looking to invest in start-ups, yet they are attracted to the returns that this asset class brings. They often do not have the skills necessary to choose from the relatively sparse data supplied and do not have access to deal flow. They also do not have the human resources or specific skills to add the real value that start-ups need to mentor them on their journey. Morrow Moylan Capital is a discretionary investment vehicle set up by like-minded UHNW's looking to capitalise on this. Each family have their own investment thesis and are guided by our 20+ years of experience gleaned in setting up Europe's largest angel network and advising three governments on how to optimise their start-up ecosystem. We source the best deals from the 500+ we see each week and place our people into our portfolio companies. We thus manage the risks involved in this asset class, through world-class curation, forensic questioning and active management. We also work with younger family members to accelerate their existing skills in either structured investment theory courses or running a smaller business where we appoint them to board positions of our portfolio companies. It is akin to an immersive MBA gained from active involvement.

Founder

2004

Bill founded Angels Den in 2007 to help companies looking for growth funding understand what angel investors are really looking for. Its success is built upon many learnings, the first of which was that angels do not primarily invest to make money. The deals presented to 20,000+ angels are super-curated and 92% of the deals funded are still growing. That's NINETY-TWO per cent. Looking for funding? Then understand you have a choice, do you "just want the money" or do you STILL want to be in business in the medium/long term? There's no Right or Wrong answer ... but understand that not all platforms or sources of capital are the same, and understand also that the decisions you make today will have repercussions for years to come. For me, that is what entrepreneurship is about, learning from your mistakes or dying. Equip yourself with the facts, then act. Do what everyone else is doing, and you'll probably end up with the rest of them ... failed. If we think your business is not investment ready, we will tell you ... there's little point in us taking you on, only for you to die, disappoint our investors ... and you. Similarly, we sack 20 investors a month for being rude or being too much like those soul-destroying "angels" on the pitching show we've all seen on TV. If you “just want the money” … we are NOT for you, but if you DO want a small number of active investors who are successful business people in their own right, and who have been trained by us to see you through to exit, check out the website below. www.angelsden.com
