Event Details

The New Generation Finance Consortium will hold its official launch event on the 8th March, at Cass Business School.

Capital Enterprise, Angel Capital, Crowd Cube, People Fund it, CDFA, and North London Community Finance, MarketInvoice and others, have come together to create the "New Generation Finance” awareness campaign, as well as the finance-ready support programme.

This will change the experience of fund raising for entrepreneurs in the UK, as it will create a holistic marketplace which provides access to all types of new and old funding sources.

 "New Generation Finance Consortium is a great initiative. Any support that startups can get in raising money is crucial for their success, and I'm excited to see the private sector supporting high growth early stage businesses in such an innovative way. 

When we started lastminute.com in 1998 it was very hard to find seed investors - we were lucky to find some by serendipity, directory inquiry, mistakes and persistence.  The latter will still be necessary but NGFC can help companies find finance in a more structured way.” - Brent Hoberman, Co-Founder Lastminute.com
