9 Steps to find your perfect angel investor
Before we dive into the different ways of finding an angel investor, I think it's a good idea to define what an angel investor means exactly.
First...
Is an angel investor and business angel the same thing?
The answer is … YES! 🙂 OK, that was easy.
Next…
When you are looking for pre-seed funding for your business, there is generally an overlap between love money and business angels, and then again between angels and venture capital firms.
Love money is not angel investment (not quite)
Love money is money provided to an entrepreneur from friends and family. These are people that believe in you no matter what. Yes, you will probably have to justify why you need the money. And yes, you will generally need to give equity in exchange for this investment. But the initial goal of your friends and family is to help you.
Now, when your friends ask their friends to invest in your startup, that is when the labeling gets blurred. These friends of friends will probably be considered as angel investors.
Step 1 - Angel Investor: what does it mean?
An angel investor is a private individual who would like to invest their own personal funds into high potential startups.
Angels can be entrepreneurs with previous exits, but we are seeing more and more business angels coming from the corporate world. They generally don't know the founder directly, or they will need a bit more persuading than the typical love money investor.
Angel investors can invest on their own or within a group of other angels. And these groups are called angel networks or angel syndicates.
When angel investments are completed within a group, there will generally be a lead investor who will be the main contact after the deal closes.
Some angel syndicates become bigger and are structured as a fund. And this is when the line is blurred again between angel investors and venture capital firms.
But one thing is for sure, and one final definition before we move on: angel investment is definitely venture capital.
And venture capital means that the angel's funds are at risk. So they will need some kind of reward for investing in your business.
Step 2 - Why do angel investors put their hard earned money into risky startups?
I read a poll a few years ago. The question was:
Why do angels invest in startups?
Answer 3: to give back to the community that helped them grow.
Answer 2: to make more money from their investment
….
Answer 1: because they are bored of refreshing their stock portfolio and they miss the entrepreneurial excitement of launching a business.
I think most investors would have trouble admitting to answer 1.
But as an angel investor myself, it's true. Yes I want to help, and yes I want to make more money, but I also want to be a part of an exciting opportunity. And I want to tell my own friends about the potential of a new tech and its exciting and smart founders.
It doesn't mean that I will naively invest funds into any fun pitch that lands in my inbox, but it is part of the equation.
So we've established that angel investors want to help, they want to make money and they want to be excited by the opportunity.
But they also want to make sure that their investment is the most tax efficient possible. This next part is not always well understood by founders but it's so important to prepare when you're dealing with angel investors.
Step 3 - SEIS : a real incentive for angel investors
SEIS is the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme. It's a government scheme that offers up to 50% tax relief for investments into British businesses.
This scheme has brought in over £1.4B of funding for startups since its creation in 2012 and is a brilliant incentive for angel investors.
It is one of 4 schemes aimed at helping businesses raise funds in the UK.
There are differences between the type of business that can raise the funds, the maximum amount of funds that the business can raise and how much tax relief the investor can get.
- SEIS investments up to £150,000 (£250,000 from April 2023)
- SITR Social Investment Tax Relief investments up to £1.5 million
- EIS Enterprise Investment Scheme investments up to £12 million
- VCT (Venture Capital Trust) investments up to £12 million
You can find our article dedicated to SEIS on this page and a SEIS tax relief calculator here.
The key take away for a founder is to make sure that your startup is SEIS ready so you don't scare angel investors away from the beginning.
SEIS rules from April 2023 :
- Your startup can raise up to £250,000
- Total assets held by the business less than £350,000
- Less than 25 employees
- Age limit of the business 3 years
You can apply directly on the Gov.uk website, or get SEIS Advance Insurance from an accountant like Sleek or Seed Legals.
Now you know what an angel investor is,. And your startup is all SEIS ready. But how do you get in touch with an angel investor?
Step 4 - Where to find angel investors?
There is no silver bullet here. Finding that very special first angel investor will be a mix of networking, hustle and asking for a lot of favors. It takes time, you'll get it wrong a few times and you will definitely learn a lot about people. The good news is that if you do it right, these investors will become your mentors, friends and will follow you throughout your career.
OK I'm ready to find an angel investor, how do I start?
Step 5 - Do not hide! Talk to people.
Whatever you do, don't hide what you are building. You absolutely have to tell people what you're up to.
Start with friends and family, especially if you've gone through the love money round. And ask these people if they know anybody that would be interested to chat. This could be as an investor, as a client, or just somebody interested in your sector.
This is not about hard pitching, it's about getting better at telling your story and answering questions.
You'll be amazed!
Interesting contacts come from the most unusual connections, and even random acquaintances. You'll see, in general people want to help.
My best introduction ever was from my brother in law. He knew a mortgage broker, and this broker used to go to school with one of the most prominent VCs in Paris.
I met him the first time at the airport, where he dropped by flying his own plane. I didn't even have to sell myself. He trusted me from the first minute.
Just talk to people.
And then use the questions and answers to progressively make your investor deck and other pitching materials.
Learn how to make the perfect pre-seed pitch deck here.
Step 6 - Linkedin is your friend
You should now be all warmed up and slowly getting better at telling the story of your startup. It's time to reach out.
When you're selling your product or service, you will want to go to where your clients hang out.
And finding an investor is the same. You need to go to where investors hangout. And alot of them hang out on Linkedin.
Start by doing these 3 simple steps.
- Create your business page.
- Update your personal profile attaching yourself to your business page
- Update your profile: Founder at XYZ. So that anybody that you connect with knows you are not trying to sell, but you are trying to build (this makes a big difference)
Then slowly start connecting with relevant individuals.
- Individuals in your sector
- Potential investors
- Other founders
- Local business people
There are limits to the number of connections you can make everyday, so go slowly and connect with people who could be interested in what you're building.
Not everybody will want to connect back, but if you do this everyday, you will progressively grow your network with a constant flow of new connections.
To help you speed up this whole process, we've created a list of Linkedin profiles for you with over 2243 VCs and Angels.
Once you've in the flow of things (I would give it 7 days). It's time to write that first post.
You can find a full article on connecting with investors on Linkedin here
Step 7 - Angel networks
At this stage, your pitching material should be ready (at least the first version). You will be building a solid flow of engaged connections on Linkedin. And your first introduction post should be live.
It's time to hit the road (and/or Zoom)!
Angel networks are groups of angel investors who get together regularly to review potential investment opportunities.
Angel networks can be as informal as investor friends having chats, to structured meetings with well marketed pitching events.
Angel networks and angel syndicates are the hidden gem for founders.
I say "hidden gem", because angel networks are more than a bunch of potential investors. These networks are basically groups of wealthy entrepreneurial people who have done this before. They are sympathetic with your struggle. And they are literally getting together with the sole purpose of talking about startup investments. You are their reason for meeting up.
And even if you don't get an immediate investment, you can still nurture a growing network that can help you out along the way with advice, contacts, and support. They can also become potential clients and partners.
It's very different with a venture capital firm, where the result is often 1 or 0.
Either the VC will like your business and want to invest, or they won't.
And even if everything stays friendly, a VC will typically not spend a lot of time helping you if there's no investment potential for them.
I really love angel networks and we've also added to our investor database a list of 34 UK networks that you can reach out to.
Tip: I know you can do all of this on Zoom, but your investor connections will be stronger if you make the effort to pitch to angel networks in person.

FAQs: Angel Investors in the UK
What is an angel investor?
An angel investor is a high-net-worth individual who invests in startups, usually at an early stage, in exchange for equity.
How can I contact angel investors in the UK?
Startupmag’s list includes contact details, public profiles, and links to angel networks to help you reach out directly or via platforms like LinkedIn.
What sectors do UK angel investors focus on?
UK angel investors cover a wide range of sectors — from SaaS and AI to healthtech and consumer startups. You can filter the list by sector on this page.
Do angel investors invest in pre-seed rounds?
Yes — many angel investors in the UK specifically focus on pre-seed and seed rounds, often being the first external money into a startup.
How do I find the right angel investor for my startup?
Finding the right angel investor isn’t just about the money — it's about finding someone who understands your sector and shares your long-term vision. Look for investors with experience in your industry, a track record of relevant deals, and a hands-on approach to supporting startups.
Use this list to research their past investments, visit their LinkedIn profiles, and check if they’ve backed similar businesses. When possible, reach out for an intro call or mutual connection to learn more about how they work with founders.
What mistakes should founders avoid when pitching angel investors?
One of the biggest mistakes is approaching investors before you’re ready. Make sure you know your numbers — market size, business model, and funding needs. Be clear on how much you’re raising, what it’s for, and what success looks like.
Don’t overvalue your startup, skip the exit plan, or send generic cold emails. And don’t forget: due diligence goes both ways — research your investors too. A bad investor-fit can slow you down more than no funding at all.
Which industries do UK angel investors typically invest in?
UK angel investors back a wide range of sectors, but some of the most active areas include SaaS, AI, healthtech, fintech, and consumer brands. Many angels invest in what they know — often based on their previous work or successful exits.
Use the filters in this list to sort by sector and check our sector-specific pages for deeper breakdowns. You’ll also find investors tied to accelerators or angel networks with a particular focus.
