Accountancy, investment management and tax group Smith & Williamson is hosting an influential gathering of entrepreneurs and investors in Bristol next week.
The roundtable lunch was held on Tuesday, 18th September in conjunction with Envestors, which offers a platform to connect sophisticated investors and high-growth businesses. Envestors’ software platform connects over 7,000 investors and has facilitated over £100m of investment in more than 200 companies to date.
“Together with the UK Business Angels Association and the UK Crowdfunding Association, we will be sitting down with around 30 business and investment influencers,”
says Peter Ball, partner and scale-up lead at Smith & Williamson in Bristol.
“The South West, and Bristol in particular, is recognised internationally as a great place to start and grow a business and it has a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.
“We are delighted to be hosting this informal, invitation-only event at our Bristol office to discuss how best to stimulate investment in our region and to connect entrepreneurs with investors.”
Oliver Woolley, CEO of Envestors, said:
“Bristol is an obvious area for growth. There is a large number of investors but also really high quality innovative companies. This event is all about stimulating that growth by getting the right people together in the same room to discuss how to make it easier for the right investor to find the right opportunity.”
