These are the slides that accompanied the Q2 2022 Quarterly Investment Briefing for the South West on 23rd June. The event included a discussion of the equity investment fund history in the South West and a panel discussion with British Business Bank, QantX, and Newable. Briony Phillips, Rocketmakers also shared an update on the region and information about 12 companies that are currently raising investment - you can find them on slides 16-18.
2. QIB Guiding Principles
Those who attend the Quarterly Investment Briefing share
three common principles:
Whoever attends is an active or potentially active investor, or
manager of investors or enabler of investment activity.
Whatever is presented is informative, fact-based and regionally
relevant.
We value the opportunity to learn equally with the opportunity to
share.
