News: Business Yorkshire invites Rotherham entrepreneurs into the Den

This year’s Business Yorkshire event offers growing businesses and budding entrepreneurs the chance to pitch to a panel of venture capitalists in the Angels Den. The Angels Den Theatre will provide a combination of informative seminars, networking and question sessions, as well as the pitching opportunity for investment. Taking place across both days of the exhibition and conference on 1-2 October at Doncaster Racecourse, Angels Den offers a variety of formats for businesses to present, including a three minute speed pitch option. This comprises a three minute presentation of the ideas and financial requirements followed by a one minute question and answer session, where the investor has the chance to quiz the contestant. Bill Morrow, Co-Founder of Angels Den said: "Angels Den fits perfectly into the format and the aims of Business Yorkshire – it helps developing companies gain useful advice and the opportunity to grow through financial backing and expert input. The Angels are constantly on the lookout for potential business people of the future and great ideas, and I am confident we will find these in Yorkshire."
