Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
South East Angels is an award-winning angel syndicate founded in 2020 and based in Brighton, operating as the most active angel investor community in the South East of England. The group deploys £2M+ annually into early-stage tech startups, backing UK-registered businesses raising up to £5M that qualify for SEIS or EIS tax relief and demonstrate a strong advantage in an underserved or growing market. Members invest collectively as a syndicate of 50+ active angels, combining capital with hands-on sector expertise, introductions, and ongoing founder support beyond the first cheque. The community is on a mission to make angel investing a more successful and impactful endeavour for both investors and founders, with a strong emphasis on diversity — including being one of the first angel groups to sign the Investing in Women Code. While rooted in Brighton and the South East, the group is open to investment opportunities across the UK, screening 600+ startups annually and backing roughly 9–10 companies per year across sectors including healthtech, climate/cleantech, AI, fintech, marketplaces, and consumer.
Notable quotes
“Building the most active, engaged, and valuable community for angel investors in the South East of England.”
“The diverse backgrounds and expertise within the group have broadened my perspective and contributed significantly to the success of the investments we've undertaken together. It's a privilege to be part of a group that not only values financial success but also places a strong emphasis on contributing to the success of the local startup ecosystem.”
“With women counting for only 14% of angel investors in the UK, there is huge untapped potential for women to add value to the UK economy whilst building their own wealth, and syndicates are a vital tool in the world of investing.”
