The first of many Beer Investment Evenings was held last Thursday 28th January in London.

The 20th Beer & Partners Investment Fair in November proved to be one of our most successful to date.

 

Six companies have completed within the last month and a half, securing a total of over £1.2m between them.

The largest investment was attracted by a popular ‘healthy fast food’ retailer who secured over £340,000 in a third round of funding through Beer & Partners, who have now raised nearly £1m for this company.




Beer & Partners hosted the 20th bi-annual London Investment Fair on Tuesday 3 November.

During the day over 125 investors came to our fair to meet the 30 fund seekers presenting a wide variety of funding opportunities in new and expanding innovative companies. Many investors were attending for the first time (nearly 200 have signed up since January 2009) and it was excellent to see so many of our regulars returning to the fair, and to discuss the investment climate and economic situation.




Beer & Partners assisted Greener solutions in raising equity finance in 2002. This funding facilitated the company through its expansion phase and it now has offices in both the UK and Germany. The company’s unique approach to recycling mobile phones has attracted major clients such as Vodaphone.

A recent fundraising gave Beer & Partners investors the right to participate in a call option valuing their shares at 10x the initial investment value.




Beer & Partners introduced shares in Epistem pre-IPO to investors in the Autumn of 2006. They were taken up alongside institutional investor portions in Spring 2007. The price of £1.24 which Beer investors obtained represented a discount to the projected and actual £1.50 AIM flotation price.

Today’s share price provides a return for Beer & Partners investors in excess of 3.2x their initial investment within 3 years.
