The support includes a £5 million venture capital fund, the Invest Growth Fund, which focuses on seed and early stage businesses with high growth potential and a £3 million proof of concept fund, the Invest Growth Proof of Concept Fund, which is funded by Invest NI to provide funding to very early, non-university projects.
Investment Readiness Programme
Innovative and interactive workshops aimed at the management teams of Northern Ireland’s high growth potential businesses. The Programme sets-out to provide entrepreneurs, who have ambitions to raise investment finance, with an understanding of the investment process; how to prepare for investment; and how to subsequently utilise investment funds to best effect.
Invest Growth Fund
The Invest Growth Fund is a new £5m venture capital fund, which has been established to invest in start-up and early-stage businesses based in Northern Ireland. The Fund Manager, E-Synergy, is looking to invest in numerous 'seed' and early stage companies over the five year period leading up to March 2014.
