Expert speakers
Paul Grant knows what it’s like to be on both sides of the funding fence. As an entrepreneur he raised funds for his own business, securing capital from business angels, bankers, family and friends, and even a government grant.
After seven years of trading he exited his business in 2003 and was invited to join a private equity company, Capital Partners, eventually heading up the business angel division. Here he had access to nearly 5,000 angel investors and reviewed more than 1,000 business plans every year.
During this time Paul learnt a lot about why so many businesses fail to secure the funding they need in the start-up and growth phases. Paul has met with many investors, bankers, and venture capitalists over the years and in the course of his work has uncovered what they are really looking for.
More importantly, Paul has developed an approach to raising capital that works. He is keen to share with you what he has learnt as an entrepreneur and as an industry insider.
Successful angel investor Colin Coghlan will demystify how an angel investor thinks and what they are looking for.
Colin Coghlan is a private investor, advisor, mentor and speaker specialising in early stage and rapid growth business. He advises both entrepreneurs and investors and speaks on the subject of investment at various public and professional events.

Colin's portfolio is focused on the TMT sector including television, mobile and cloud computing.
