Why Join Apollo?

​

Apollo is an informal investment network that focuses on early-stage funding, which is often a barrier for new companies. We don’t refinance or place additional demands or costs on the companies in which we invest. Our members can choose their investment allocation for each company and build a bespoke portfolio, knowing that their investment will be focused on the company's development.

​

We work closely with members of the Scottish business startup community to bring you early-stage investment opportunities that are not typically ready for large-scale VC or Angel investment.

​

We also hope to give back to the business community by providing mentoring to each company we finance. If that’s something you would like to do, please contact our gatekeeper using our Contact page, and we will be happy to tell you more. Finally, Apollo is a great place to network with like-minded business leaders and entrepreneurs from across Scotland.

​

What are the Costs?

​

We charge an annual £250 fee to cover our group's administration costs. Once you have joined, you can invest in any of our deals. We use standard investment terms, so our overheads for both Apollo and the Company remain low. 

​

How many deals do I need to join?

​

Currently, we do not require investors to join a minimum number of deals each year.
