The Sunday Times: Q&A with angel investor Christina Bechhold Russ
Every week we talk to a business angel, one of the early-stage investors who collectively inject £1.5bn a year
A diverse group of Millennials investing in early stage ventures with a focus on supporting young entrepreneurs.
We’re training a new generation of angel investors – no bureaucracy, decisions as quickly as possible, collaborative diligence, and roll up your sleeve portfolio support but a long term view on return. We’re a group built on transparency, trust and cooperation, and very selective about who joins our ranks.
We operate funds that invest by majority vote, as well as a diverse network of young professionals who invest directly in companies they’re excited about. Our investors choose the format that works best for them, allowing us to make better decisions and write larger total checks.
We’re often the target market for the companies we invest in, and every member supports the entire portfolio, regardless of personal investment. We follow-on, support M&A, introduce to investors and customers, and are vocal, active users.
We are headquartered in NYC but have a London Chapter. Investors have access to deal flow on both sides of the pond, and companies can tap capital from an international set of investors with a global mindset
Founded by friends, we’re a group built on trust and camaraderie.
