BFD is a UK-based private angel network focused on identifying, evaluating, and supporting high-potential early-stage and growth businesses.

Our network comprises experienced private investors who actively deploy capital into opportunities demonstrating strong fundamentals, scalable models, and clearly defined return pathways. We are not a passive platform.  We take an active role in reviewing, structuring, and assessing opportunities before presenting them to our investors.

Alongside our angel activity, we provide strategic support where required to ensure businesses are investment-ready and positioned correctly for capital deployment.

Our mission is to connect well-structured, scalable businesses with aligned private capital.

We aim to ensure that opportunities presented to our network meet professional standards of financial clarity, commercial positioning, and investor-readiness. Where appropriate, we support founders in refining their financial forecasts, capital strategy, and investment structure so that funding discussions are grounded in credible, well-articulated projections.

Our objective is simple:

To facilitate investment into businesses that are prepared, compelling, and capable of delivering meaningful growth.

We operate with a disciplined and investor-led review process.

All opportunities are initially assessed internally, including evaluation of:

Financial forecasts and capital requirements
 

Market positioning and scalability
 

Return pathway and exit potential
 

Structural clarity of the raise
 

Only opportunities that meet our internal criteria are presented to the wider angel group.

For larger or continued raises, we collaborate with capital advisory partners who operate on a success-fee basis and have access to broader pools of sector-aligned capital.

In some cases, promising businesses require further structuring before being suitable for presentation to investors. Where appropriate, we assist founders in developing:

Robust financial models
 

Structured funding strategies
 

Investor-focused forecasting
 

Clear return mapping
 

This ensures that when opportunities are introduced to capital, they are positioned professionally and aligned with investor expectations.

If you are raising capital and believe your business aligns with a disciplined, investor-led review process, we welcome an initial introduction.

Submit your pitch deck and financial forecasts for internal review, and we will revert following assessment.
