The Invested Investor - becoming, and working with, an angel or angels who add value to the startup journey with help such as mentoring, governance, connecting, future funding and even friendship. It is the brainchild of Peter Cowley, Chairman of Cambridge Angel,  UK Business Angel of the Year 2014/15 and Best Angel of the World by the World Business Angel Investment Forum in February 2017. 

Invested Investor is on a mission to improve the journeys of startups by educating angels and entrepreneurs to make fewer mistakes, work better together and produce more successful exits. We want to make angels more comfortable to invest their time and emotion into start-ups, and help entrepreneurs with how they should start to talk to investors and then build an honest relationship with them.  

Peter's drive behind this is to generate a greater number of successful businesses for the benefit of the entrepreneurs, the angels and the whole ecosystem. 

The project is a not-for-profit social enterprise, hopefully covering its costs over time.  The over-arching drive is to educate and to encourage improved transparency and trust.
