How does it work?

The Virtual Investor program is designed to replicate the process of applying for investment to an angel syndicate or VC, with helpful feedback along the way. Here's how it works:

1. Virtual Investor Online application - submit this application to start the process
2. Virtual "Gatekeeper" review - we'll get back to you with feedback on your submission and suggested next steps. This might include areas to work on or an invitation to the next stage
3. Virtual "Gatekeeper" presentation - presentation and Q&A with our internal "Gatekeeper" team. Revised feedback and suggested next steps. This also might include areas to work on or an invitation to the next stage
4. Virtual "Angel Syndicate" presentation - a chance to present to members of the Edinburgh early stage investment community.

1-2-1 support will be available throughout to guide you through the process and beyond, as appropriate.
