DORSET Business Angels (DBA) will be holding their first face-to-face pitch event since the start of the pandemic on the evening of Monday October 4.

The event will be taking place at the Bournemouth Carlton Hotel with entrepreneurs given the opportunity to pitch to potential investors in a bid to accelerate early-stage business.

Set to be pitched is an all electric marine propulsion system, a companion robot and a smart outdoor programme for devices such as garden lighting, gates and even hedge trimmers.

DBA chairman, Don McQueen, said: “We are delighted to be back in Bournemouth running our first face-to-face event for 18 months.

“Our online offering has been very popular, however, when canvassed our members expressed a strong desire to get back together physically, the relationships forged through face-to-face meetings being a critically important aspect of an investor’s journey.”

There is no obligation for anyone to invest, but anyone who would like a taster of what it’s like to be a DBA investor is being urged to get in touch with the organisation via their website and go along.

For those who can't make it a recording of the pitch presentations will be hosted online via their pitch portal.
