About Angel Investors Bristol

Angel Investors Bristol is one of the South West's most established and active angel networks, connecting high-net-worth individuals with promising early-stage startups across the region. Co-founded by Peter Lockett, the network focuses on SEIS and EIS-qualifying investment opportunities, bringing together experienced investors who provide both capital and mentorship to ambitious founders.

The network runs regular pitch events and deal-sharing sessions, giving founders direct access to a syndicate of seasoned angel investors. By partnering with FounderCatalyst, Angel Investors Bristol ensures that once a deal is agreed, the legal paperwork is handled quickly, affordably, and consistently — so neither the founders nor the angels waste money on unnecessary legal fees.

“FounderCatalyst has been a game-changer for our network. It saves our founders an enormous amount of time and money on legal paperwork, which means more of our angels' capital goes into growing the business — not paying lawyers. From the fund's perspective, it makes the whole process seamless. Deals close faster, the documentation is always consistent, and we're not burning through resources on admin. It just makes life easier for everyone involved.”
