If successful, your company will be required to pitch to the ESM group

Events are hosted by ESM and held every 2 months whereby ESM investor-members are given the opportunity to view presenting company pitches and ask questions of the founders. Presenting companies are qualified in advance of the events.

Investment decisions are made at ESM using a tried and tested formula of undertaking initial DD prior to inviting Companies to pitch at ESM investor member events. Successful pitches are evaluated further and then presented to an investment panel (IP) consisting of sector experts, IP experts and experienced Investors.

On your first approach to ESM, after an initial face to face meeting, you will be asked to complete an initial due diligence form which provides details of your company, which will be assessed for suitability, and if your company is considered as being suitable for investment, your company will then be invited to pitch at one of our events.

The process from presenting at ESM events to the availability of investment can take from 4 to 12 weeks.
