Michelmores expands angel investor network into Cheltenham

Following the success of the Michelmores’ Angel Investor Network (MAINstream) in the South West, the Firm is pleased to be launching a new network in Cheltenham.

MAINstream (Michelmores Angel Investor Network) was established in 2019 to help accelerate the growth and diversity of angel investing in the South West. It is a UKBAA (UK Business Angels Association) registered network.

The Firm recently hosted a successful Pitch Event at The Clarence Social in Cheltenham. The positive uptake and feedback on the event, attended by a number of investors and high-quality pitching companies, demonstrated a clear appetite for an angel investor network in the area.

Michelmores’ Adam Kean, a Partner in the Firm’s Corporate team, will be leading the network in Cheltenham assisted by Charles Frost, in the Tax, Trusts and Succession team.

Adam comments: “MAINstream now has more than 80 member investors, seeking opportunities to actively invest in – and provide ongoing support to – innovative start-ups and exciting disruptive ventures. Many of its members have themselves started, scaled, and exited successful businesses.

“We are excited to be launching MAINstream in Cheltenham and we look forward to supporting our regional community of investors and founders. Our inaugural event was a real display of Michelmores’ culture at its best, working together to put on a fantastic event and supporting our regional community of investors and founders. We look forward to supporting the angel community and early-stage businesses in the Cheltenham area going forward.”

MAINstream holds regular pitch events throughout the year where high-growth, early-stage companies are invited to present to the network. Upcoming events can be found here. The next pitch event in Cheltenham will be taking place on Wednesday 26 February 2025. The deadline for applications is Monday 3 February.

Please contact mainstream@michelmores.com if you are interested in joining the network as an angel investor or if you would like to apply to pitch.
