Now at an exciting growth phase, we’re scaling our community, growing nationally, and building SEA into the #1 UK Angel Group.

We don't just do deals. We're building a world where angel investing is the most fulfilling asset of a private investor's portfolio - where every investment deepens expertise, expands networks, and shapes the future.

Our Culture

We're a team of high-achievers who don't do things by halves. We operate on a "one problem, two solutions" philosophy - we don't bring problems to the table without bringing options to solve them.

We lead with curiosity over ego - we prioritise genuinely wanting to learn and understand over needing to be right or look smart. If you're someone who sees obstacles as puzzles to solve, who gets energised by ambitious goals, and who'd rather try and iterate than overthink and stall, you'll fit right in.

The Role

We need a proactive, growth-focused operator to nurture and grow our community

You'll own three core outcomes:
