A fantastic evening celebrating the launch of GC Angels first cohort of Venture Forward.
Founders from all 30 businesses in Cohort 1 came together for the first time in person at Manchester’s Yard & Coop. Alongside some exceptional fried chicken, they heard inspiring words from our Head of Equity Investment, Marc Shirman, and valuable advice from Carl Morris, YARD & COOP LTD founder and the driving force behind CRESS, one of our recent portfolio investments.
A huge thank you to all the founders who travelled from across the UK and beyond to join us. Your commitment is exactly why we believe Venture Forward will play a pivotal role in reshaping the demographic of founders securing early-stage investment.
Just a week to go before the first workshop, we can't wait to get started!
