Testimonials

Ben Wilson, Co-founder and CEO, ROXFIT.

"Working with York Angels was a pivotal moment in our pre-seed journey. They are welcoming, supportive, and genuinely passionate about backing ambitious local startups. They shared helpful guidance ahead of the pitch, which turned out to be one of the most enjoyable and energising experiences of our fundraising process. The feedback was sharp, the energy in the room was positive, and the interest was real.
York Angels played a key role in helping us secure a lead VC, find a chairman and close the round with momentum."

Prof. Dan Franks, Co-founder and CEO, Causa.

" The most pivotal moment for our business was the investment from York Angels. Their blend of early funding, strategic guidance, and invaluable VC introductions catalysed our journey from an early idea all the way to securing pre-seed funding. We simply would not be where we are without them. "

Toby Myles, Co-founder and CEO, Myles

"To put it simply, our pre-seed round would not have been possible without York Angels. The direct investment from York Angels was great. Their knowledge and the introductions they were able to make was fantastic."
