What’s the good of another tiny brick in the wall?

8/6/2020

 
By Nick Lyth
​We’re dying of corona virus, the global economy is in nosedive, climate change is coming to batter us into submission, America is burning, and all we can offer is a new brick?  Is it worth it?  Who cares?
​We care.  It is worth it.  It may be a tiny innovation, but it is an intelligent air brick, that will improve the regulation of ventilation and humidity in social housing, which in turn will raise the flow of clean air, and reduce the scale of polluted lungs and infectious diseases, and that will help to improve the health of the home owners, while reducing their expense on heating and the health system, and so will encourage a greater sense of well-being, at the same time as lowering energy use and carbon emissions, and thus help to lower global warming, minimise climate change, and lower the spread of corona virus, while reducing the toxic gap between rich and poor throughout the western world.   It’s called AirEx, and we are arranging an investment in it right now.

February 2020 pitch event review

10/2/2020

 
By ​Antoine Pradayrol
Our first pitch event of the new decade took place at the beautifully appointed Conduit Club in Mayfair, London. The room was literally packed with a uniquely eager audience of green angel investors, who were treated to five top-quality pitches from five ambitious businesses.
​
This time, we had three start-up companies contributing to the essential transition towards zero-carbon transportation; and two working at saving an increasingly scarce resource, water:
  • Agile Charging – Fast electric vehicle charging, anywhere;
  • Furo Systems – Direct to consumer electric bikes and scooters;
  • XeroE – On-demand, emission-free deliveries;
  • Propelair – The world’s lowest water flush toilet;
  • StormHarvester – Smart drainage systems.

September 2019 pitch event review

30/9/2019

 
​Our 26th September pitch event at Urban Innovation Centre in Clerkenwell, London, was packed with more than 90 attendees and a fantastic line-up of five companies. The companies represented very different sectors, from buildings to industry to electric vehicles to online second-hand shopping. However, all of them had not only a very strong investment case but also a very clear contribution to make to solving the climate crisis – so all were perfectly aligned with Green Angel Syndicate’s objectives:
​
  • IndiNature – 100% plant-based home insulation system;
  • Coomtech – Energy efficient drying technology for bulk materials;
  • Ventive – Naturally intelligent ventilation for new buildings;
  • Flexible Power Systems – Enabling the optimal deployment of electric vehicle fleets;
  • Thrift+ – Innovative circular economy model for the second-hand clothes.

11/6/2019

 
Our 6th June Pitch Event at Browns Covent Garden in London was another record-breaking success, with a packed, engaged audience of more than a hundred, five new excellent pitches and a very positive update from one of our existing live deals.
​

Of the six presenting teams, three focused on segments of the renewable energy value chain, and the three others on equally essential sectors of the green economy: energy efficiency, the circular economy and clean agriculture.

April 2019 - Pitch Event Review

5/4/2019

Our 4th April pitch event at Browns Covent Garden in London was undoubtedly the best so far, with the best investment propositions, the highest quality and best rehearsed pitches, and the largest and most engaged audience of Green Angel Syndicate members.
​

The five companies pitching represented a broad sample of sectors, but they were all perfectly aligned with our core mission of supporting startup companies benefiting the green economy, and they all shared impressive levels of ambition.

​Our pitch event on 5 February took place at Browns Covent Garden in London, with four companies presenting to Green Angel Syndicate’s eager audience of active angel investors.
​
This time, there was a special focus on projects in the circular economy, including the recycling of plastics. However, this was by coincidence rather than by design, as Green Angel Syndicate’s selection criteria remain unwavering: we look for companies combining the potential for significant long-term shareholder value creation with a clear positive contribution to the green economy.

Green Angel Syndicate’s third and last pitch event of the year took place on 30 November, with a packed room of investors and four extremely interesting and highly contrasting companies, targeting markets as diverse as:
  • Clean autonomous transportation (Ultra MTS)
  • Recycled composite building materials (Alusid)
  • Community scale wind energy harvesting (Spinetic Energy)
  • The global financial markets (ET Index).

However, all four of them have two essential points in common: firstly, the ambition to grow into a large company with a unique, innovative, cutting-edge product or service; and secondly, a clear ‘green’ mission. Here is our review of their excellent presentations and the lively Q&A sessions that followed.
