Navigating the early fundraising landscape for a Renewable Energy startup in the UK can feel like trying to harness an unpredictable wind – full of potential, but challenging to control. You've developed innovative solutions for a sustainable future, but securing the initial capital to bring them to market and scale can be a significant hurdle. Identifying the right funding partners is critical, yet with various options available, distinguishing which ones genuinely align with your vision can be a significant challenge.
Angel Networks play a pivotal role for UK-based Renewable Energy startups seeking to bridge the gap between initial concept and significant growth. These networks comprise groups of high-net-worth individuals who pool their capital and, crucially, their expertise to invest in promising ventures. In the current UK market, where investor interest in sustainable technologies is growing, angel networks offer more than just money; they provide invaluable mentorship, strategic connections, and a deeper understanding of the sector's nuances.
When considering Angel Networks for your Renewable Energy startup, it's important to look beyond just the capital offered. Evaluate the network's experience in the energy sector, their track record with similar startups, and the level of engagement they offer post-investment. Some networks are highly hands-on, providing strategic guidance and opening doors to further opportunities, while others may be more passive. The ideal network will not only believe in your mission but also possess the industry knowledge to help you navigate regulatory complexities and market adoption challenges.
The right Angel Networks can be a catalyst for faster, smarter fundraising, providing not just the financial fuel but also the strategic compass to guide your Renewable Energy startup towards a brighter, more sustainable future.
We are an angel investment syndicate.
Guided by the Triple Bottom Line (profit, people and planet), we support UK and European entrepreneurs solving big problems in Education, Healthcare and Sustainability (what we like to refer to as ‘Quality of Life’ pillars).
We do that by focusing on pre-seed and seed-stage technology companies, where the potential for significant returns is greatest. But HOW and WHERE we generate those returns matters deeply to us.
We are more than just providers of capital. We only invest where we can add value. Our investment philosophy is fully aligned with the ‘Triple Bottom Line’ framework, and as such, we measure success in three key areas: profit, people, and planet.
Raspberry is Europe's fastest growing investment syndicate, bringing together serial-entrepreneurs, corporate executives and angels to invest in high impact European AI and Climate Tech technology companies.

Our vision is to be the most founder- and private-investor-friendly ClimateTech/AI syndicate in Europe with at least €100m in virtual dry powder deployed annually.
Deepbridge only invests in sectors in which our team has experience. By understanding where, how and why our investee companies operate, we have a better understanding of how to support, mentor and manage those businesses.
We have a unique team of sector luminaries who source review and manage investment opportunities, across the technology, life sciences and renewable energy sectors.
From seed stage, through commercialisation and growth funding, Deepbridge aims to work with investee companies throughout their funding journey in order to ensure that they have the very best opportunity to succeed and ultimately aim to provide our investors with an optimum return.
Investments in unquoted companies carries high risks and investors could lose all funds invested. Investors should not invest if capital is required in the near term. No established market exists for the trading of shares in private companies, making it difficult to sell shares. The value of tax reliefs depend on personal circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. The availability of tax reliefs depends on the Company invested in maintaining its qualifying status. Past performance is not a guide to the future performance of an investment, and investors are encouraged to take independent legal, tax and financial advice before considering an investment.
