While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Very predatory, won’t refund us as what constitutes “interest” is very vague. It’s also very expensive at £179 per month. Given how few resources startups have this price with without any guarantee... See more

OK so this is an Excellent idea! ?

Excellent idea!
Having signed up for this I left it be just to see what happened . After around 40 days i had some interest from an investor with no credentials/Investment history. I would like to give 5 stars for the positivity and regeneration of my thoughts on my brand that AIN have given me although I know that no-one wants to read the 5 star reviews. You might want to check out my brand / pitch
This is simply a further plug at generating interest in my ethical brand. I will not be investing any more money into this AIN website as being a business person it's imperative that I do not get drawn in to a gambling episode of my brands career .
I have given 1 star (Because I'm unimpressed) or is it to raise awareness of my brand only ?.
I have been prompted to give nudges to investors that have no verified previous investment affairs and so will not be buying "Nudges " how ridiculous?
If you are looking to make your company a success you will not be drawn into gambling with it . I suggest that you talk to other companies that are within your sector and if your Brand /Idea is viable then no persons without a valid reason would reject fair investment in you and your brand/idea . Good luck all - I know how you are all feeling ...apart from those who are simply reviewing for the good of the company that you work within ( AIN) .P.s if you would like a better dog food for your pooch please contact us at Moorlandspetfoods.com a propa family run business.

Amazing platform, super nice people

Your platform is absolutely incredible. We've connected with dozens of investors and have closed $75K during the duration of our campaign. AIN is organized, simple, and easy to use. I'm a very happy customer and will definitely recommend it to my network!

Really great product, massively beat my expectations

Really great product. Wasn't expecting to get so many requests through in the first few days of having our pitch online. The interface is super-intuitive and makes your pitch look really polished. The team have been fantastic at giving me tips along the way. Will continue to use for future funding rounds.

Efficient capital introducer

Efficient capital introducer - has proved infinitely more effective than all other web based funding initiatives that we have engaged with. Its network is considerable in scale - its by no means a 100% quality network (there is a little bit of dross among the high networth investor gems), but I guess that is what happens when you build a beast of considerable size. We used 'nudges' to great effect and the sponsored email shots are a remarkably cost efficient tool to reach a large and relevant audience of real high net worth investors at a disproportionately low and affordable price. By far our most efficient and cost effective fundraising has been achieved via Angel Investment Network

Thanks for your kind and honest feedback! It's great to hear that you made efficient use fo our systems and raised funding as a result. You're spot on about the investor quality - it's a neverending task for our vetting team to monitor the investors in the system to ensure that the network remains of good quality even at this scale. Inevitably, people slip through the system from time to time, but we usually pick them up quickly and remove them from the network. Thanks again and best of luck with growing the business!

Thanks, Benno. I've set the developers to review our contact form which, I agree, needs updating a bit.

Waste of time - dont waste your money

Waste of time , no real interest , get bunch of fake interest. better off cold emailing investors, they then expect you to pay to contact their investors. AVOID

Hi Saj. It's disappointing that you've come away with this opinion of our service. We've helped thousands of entrepreneurs connect with investors over the last 14 years so it's frustrating that we couldn't help you too. Of course, we can't help every entrepreneur it's a competitive space and the quality of their pitch will play an important role in the quality of the interactions they have with our investors. It's for this reason that we fully refund people who don't get genuine interest from our investors. This way, nobody wastes their money. If you can contact admin@angelinvestmentnetwork.co.uk then we will happily process your refund.

I needed support with Angel Investment Network as I work towards my pitch using their service.
They came back to me promptly provided a telephone contact, I spoke to Oliver who answered all my questions and provided adequate advice, I look forward to the journey with them.
I appreciate the support

AIN is more effective than any other

AIN is easy to use, fast, effective and has many investors. We kept repurchasing the Global Pro or Executive plan for the past year and have raised some funding. We got good advice through the consultancy work and exposure. I feel AIN is more effective than any other. Thanks AIN!!

Seems like a fake

Seems like a fake, or just a stupid startup trying to push the product on the market! I found reviewer below Ishwor Prasad Rijal, who works in Anger Investment Network as a software developer. His review says that like he got an investment ... Kidding? A fair business is not going to be constructed in such way! Guys, deeply think about it and let my 1-Star mark be a good lesson for you!

Hi Tengiz, thanks for pointing this out. I've investigated this - our developer was new and not acting under any directive - he has been reprimanded and the review has been removed. We've been operating for 14 years and pride ourselves on providing a transparent and honest service to our users. Our ongoing mission is to improve the global startup eco-system and help as many promising companies as possible raise funding. We apologise unreservedly for this oversight and hope that we can still help you in your fundraising journey and prove that we are worth the 5-star rating many of our users give us.

The money-back policy is great! And the relative cheapness of the packages when you are aiming for £100,000 makes this the best deal for any kind of entrepreneur!

When my pitch was not getting the activity I thought the idea deserved, I got it reviewed by a member of the Angel Investment Network team. From their detailed feedback I realised that I had not given enough detail. I re-drafted it and generated 8 investor leads in a few days!

I was nervous about the privacy side of things, but I read one of Oliver’s articles and I realised that as an entrepreneur you have to do everything you can to start conversations with as many people as possible. It’s a great way to get insightful feedback as well as to find investment.

I was worried about sharing my idea so publicly, but I’m glad I did! The discussions I had with prospective investors also made me realise that my idea at that time, was not good enough, but thanks to those discussions, it’s now the great product it is today. Would recommend.

Thanks for the feedback, John. We've been working hard on improving the on-site functionality and launching new online products. But, we've had a lot of feedback requesting that we restart our pitching events. So we plan to do one later in the year. I'll make sure you are top of the list.

Angel Investment Network have created an attractive meeting place for investors, start ups and other businesses that seek funding!

Angel Investment Network have created an excellent platform to bring together angel investors, private equity a.o investors with start ups and a.o businesses looking for funding.

The best part is that in trying to achieve ones' objectives you are never 'on your own.' AIN is there right from the start to nudge and guide you and thanks to the fixed parameters of the templates a la twitter, one can be sure that a proposal right down to the pitch will be concise and have the potential to make maximum impact.

Where needed AIN can help with proof reading of ones' proposal for structural mistakes, inconsistencies whilst giving hints or tips that could be considered to strengthen your pitch.

I have been a subscriber since 2014 and to me AIN continues to represent a value proposition in support of efforts to raise more capital.
