Forbury Investment Network (FIN, www.forburyinvest.com) is an investment network established to secure investment for innovation. FIN aims to facilitate the raising of finance and provide support, information and networking opportunities to investors seeking to invest in early stage ventures and entrepreneurs seeking funding. Via a secure website, FIN enables entrepreneurs wishing to raise funds to submit “funding proposals” to be viewed by investor members. Entrepreneurs have the opportunity to present their funding proposals to FIN’s network of investor members at regularly held investment meetings. FIN also provides a regularly updated online knowledge bank, advising entrepreneurs on issues such as presentation guidance and steps for creating a business plan, as well as market and sector reviews for investor members.
