Gabriel Investment Syndicate aims to be the foremost early-stage angel investment syndicate in Scotland, giving ambitious young Scottish companies the power to shine on the global stage through seed funding, mentoring, and support from an established board of angels and business experts. The syndicate focuses on pre-start and start-up businesses that can demonstrate growth potential, ambition, and scalability — preferably in new products and markets — and typically invests between £100,000 and £250,000, co-investing alongside other angel syndicates into larger deals on occasion. Beyond capital, Gabriel provides office space, business planning, financial projections, marketing strategy, and administrative support through a six-to-nine month incubation process.
