The Enterprise Hub’s Deep Tech Investor Collective connects active investors with a pipeline of engineering and technology ventures from across our programmes and alumni. We take a curated, relationship-led approach to investor engagement, designed to make it easier to discover credible opportunities, share insight, and build valuable connections into the Hub community.
The Investor Collective is intended for active angel investors, venture funds and family offices investing in engineering and technology‑led ventures.

Designed for active investors
As an investor, you’ll gain access to our portfolio of 600+ awardees and teams building ambitious, IP‑rich companies across the breadth of engineering and applied science.
Our Network helps investors:
- access curated deal flow from our portfolio companies,
- build valuable relationships with awardees and the wider Hub community,
- stay close to what’s emerging across engineering-led innovation, through regular updates and selective convening.
We prioritise relevance and long‑term relationships over volume, reflecting the Academy’s role as a trusted convenor.
