At Gateway Angels, we fuel the innovators and disruptors transforming industries across technology, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, cleantech, and beyond. Our passion is identifying start-ups with game-changing ideas and unbridled potential for significant growth.

We specialise in providing pre-seed and seed investment rounds, typically between £50k-£1m. This is the critical stage when a start-up requires investment to truly begin its growth journey. Our typical investors don’t just support financially however – they’re a powerful combination of smart capital and hands-on support to propel companies to new frontiers of success.

Founded as LCR Angel Network in 2017, the group exists as the first network of Angel Investors for the Liverpool City Region; bringing together quality investment opportunities with active Angel Investors. The aim of the network is to create growth for the local economy by driving opportunities for businesses and investors across the region by providing exceptional service of specialised events, workshops and communications to ensure a growing presence, and is a a key member of the wider recognised UK Business Angels Association (UKBAA) and a proud signatory of the Investing in Women Code.

I have attended Gateway Angels events since its formation. Over the years I have seen an amazing range of innovative companies, some of which I have invested in.

I have also seen an improved professionalism and reach of the network making it a powerful force in the local region.
