Enterprise Angels and COVID-19 Update and Resources
Enterprise Angels remains open for business and will continue to provide all services as per normal. We are now all working from home, with all internal systems accessible remotely by staff through a secure system hence, you shouldn’t see any disruption to the efficiency of Enterprise Angels over the coming months.
Events:
Given recent guidelines regarding social distancing and the rapid development of COVID-19, we are planning to hold the April pitch night in a webinar/online format on Tuesday 7 April rather than in person. We believe this is the best practice approach in ensuring the safety of all involved. Hamilton members, please amend this date in your diaries!
We’ll be working on the logistics and tech and prospective companies to ensure this is a worthwhile event and will keep you up to date as we progress this.
Please register your interest in attending the webinar here.
