The UKBAA Angel Investment Awards returned on Tuesday 8th June 2021 to celebrate the high growth and success in the angel and early-stage investment market – recognising the fastest growing brands and acknowledging the founders, angels, crowd funders and early-stage venture capital investors behind them.
Held virtually, the awards celebrated the success and determination of the angel and early-stage investment community following a year of struggle and uncertainty. With over 200 angels, VC investors and industry leaders in attendance, the awards reflected back on a year that has seen the eco-system adapting to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
A panel of 37 judges reviewed the hundreds of nominations received to select the leaders and trailblazers from the UK’s investment ecosystem.
