Anglia Capital Group is a network of Business Angel Investors across Norfolk and Suffolk. We hold regular pitching events throughout the year at which early-stage, innovative businesses are invited to pitch for potential equity investment.
About Anglia Capital Group
Anglia Capital Group (ACG) was founded in the Spring of 2014.Founding Members and Shareholders included some of the most active investors in the region with a common desire to support innovation, economic growth and the start-up ecosystem across Norfolk and Suffolk; counties already boasting skills in food production, energy, biotechnology and agricultural technology.
Key to the establishment and sustainability of Anglia Capital Group is the relationship that the company has with the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (New Anglia LEP). The New Anglia LEP shared ACG’s vision from the start, and understood the importance of angel investment as a source of funding for early-stage businesses.
In order to support the growth of ACG, the New Anglia LEP established their New Anglia Capital project with a £2million allocation to co-invest alongside ACG Members into early-stage businesses with the potential for improving economic growth and job creation across Norfolk and Suffolk.
With the New Anglia LEP’s support, as well as the support of our loyal members and sponsors, ACG has grown to a membership of 30, and as a group has invested over £2.5 million since the first investment into Rainbird AI in mid-2015.
