A clear, structured, founder-friendly process, typically completed in 4–6 weeks.

Typical outcomes are:

  • £50k–£300k total allocation
  • Cheques of £10k–£100k per investor

Week 1: Intro

To kick things off, you'll sign up to ThatRound and submit your deck there. We review every submission and prioritise founders who meet our criteria.

Week 2: Deep dive

Our team meets directly with founders to understand traction, pricing, vision, and founder–market fit. Only the top 1% progress.

Week 3: Syndicate presentation

We introduce you to our investor community, supported by your pitch materials and a clear set of insights.

Week 4: Live Q&A

We host a 30-60 minute session with interested angels to address their technical, commercial, and strategic questions.

Week 4-6: Allocation & Commitments

Investors will review contracts and transfer funds.

For more complex opportunities, we may schedule one additional diligence call.
