Veridian Ventures Partner Dan Schonfeld recently had the privilege of participating in a panel discussion on structuring and growing Angel Syndicates, as part of the UK Business Angels Association’s recent Angel Group Symposium, held in London on April 16th. The discussion was both engaging and informative, and the audience contributed some great questions and insights. 𝐃𝐚𝐧'𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬: 1) The UK angel investment ecosystem is vibrant and active, despite recent market conditions and regulatory actions. 2) The UKBAA is playing a key role in organising and mobilising angel investment activities, and has been quite successful in making sure our view as a community are heard and taken into account by the government, as evidenced in the recent decision to reverse the changes to investor certification criteria.   3) There is wide agreement in the community that government policy is both confusing and contradictory, trying to encourage angel investing on the one hand while at the same time driving the market – almost forcibly – towards consolidation, in a way which makes it harder for new angels and new angel syndicates to thrive. 4) There is growing involvement by angels based outside of the traditional areas of London and the South-East. 5) The ecosystem is also increasingly professionalising, with growing use of technology to streamline operations and processes. 6) There is a growing number of options for anyone who wants to start angel investing, based on region, gender, sector focus and more – there have never been more opportunities. 7) There is significant benefit for an individual to invest via a syndicate as opposed to on their own, in terms of deal flow, access to opportunities, professional support and education, and higher quality due diligence. "My thanks again to the UKBAA for the invitation and for organising such an excellent event, to my fellow panellists for such an enjoyable discussion, and to the audience for their time, attention, and valuable contributions." Looking forward to the next one!
