"The Venture Capital Committee will be using its 'manifesto for venture' as a platform to articulate the sector's 'asks' in the forthcoming months. Our overarching objective is to improve the sector's access to capital. Alongside this we will be looking at ways through which we can foster a more enterprising economy and communicate the case for venture to a wider audience"
Richard Anton (Chairman)
Objective
To represent effectively BVCA members who are for profit institutions, investing in money-in deals, or small deals (sub £10 million of equity), or both.
The Committee has three main objectives:
1. To improve access to capital
2. To undertake activities that will stimulate the enterprise economy
3. To communicate the case for venture to Government, the media, and the general public
Activity
- Promoting the ‘manifesto for venture’ to investors, fund managers, Government, and other audiences to demonstrate the economic case for venture and its wider contributions to society.
- Hosting informative conferences such as the University Spin-out Conference, held annually in November, to inform and link entrepreneurs and investors and attract attention to the sector.
- Conducting or recommending research that the BVCA should undertake to support this segment of the membership.
