Angel Investment & EIS: Early-Stage Fundraising

How angels work, EIS tax relief, and the pitch that works.

📚 8 articles⏱️ ~2 hoursIntermediate

About This Learning Path

Angel investors are different from VCs — they back founders, not just ideas. You'll learn how to find them (networks, syndicates, platforms), how to value your business as an early-stage company (it's not your revenue, it's your potential), how SEIS and EIS tax relief works (it lets angels claim 50% tax relief on losses), and how to structure a round that doesn't dilute you excessively. Plus, the difference between a convertible note (kick the valuation problem down the road) and equity (nail it now).
