Entrepreneurs
For R8ER-registered entrepreneurs, our team of experts will provide valuable insights to ensure the best possible chance of securing investment via our investor community. Once finalized, your company's profile will be directly available to R8ER investors for the period of one full year.
Raise Investment Through the Right Investors
R8ER helps innovative health and climate tech companies become investment-ready and connect with qualified investors worldwide.
Our investor network includes family offices, venture capital funds, institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals. Family offices can often be one of the most valuable sources of long-term capital, but they can also be among the hardest investors for founders to identify and access. R8ER has become a trusted platform for family offices seeking professionally reviewed investment opportunities, helping companies reach investors who are often inaccessible through traditional fundraising routes.
Investment opportunities across our network range from £50,000 to £10 million.
How R8ER Works
Step 1 – Apply
Complete our streamlined application and submit your company information, pitch deck and short founder video.
Step 2 – Gain Expert Insight
Your company is matched with five internationally recognised specialists and Key Opinion Leaders (selected specifically for their expertise in your technology, sector and stage of development), bringing together expertise across investment, science, clinical practice, regulation, commercialisation and industry.
Together, they provide practical observations, recommendations and specialist insight, which we bring together into your personalised “Investment Readiness Report”. This is designed to help strengthen your fundraising strategy and prepare you for investor discussions.
Following this process, you decide whether you would like your company introduced to relevant investors through the platform.
Step 3 – Meet Relevant Investors
We only introduce your company to investors whose investment preferences match your opportunity.
Our investor community includes family offices, VC and PE funds, institutional investors, private investment firms and high-net-worth individuals.
Selected companies may also be introduced directly to our dedicated investment funds, including the Vetted Investments Syndicate and the Commonwealth Healthy Ageing Investment Fund. Where there is a strong fit, this can accelerate your route to investment committee review, alongside introductions to our wider investor network.
