ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

A ONE OF A KIND TOOLKIT DEVELOPED BY INVESTORS FOR INVESTORS

Invest in Creative is a specially designed investor toolkit developed to showcase the opportunities for investing in the UK Creative Industries. From an expansive view of the high growth potential of the creative sector, to pinpointing the explosive sub sectors putting the UK on the global map – Invest in Creative covers everything investors need to know about backing leading creative businesses.

Part of the exciting Creative Scale-Up initiative funded by the Department of Culture Media and Sport (DCMS), Invest in Creative has been developed by ScaleUp Institute and UK Business Angels Association to create an investor journey like no other. Equipped with an extensive library of videos featuring leading investors, renowned experts and inspiring entrepreneurs, this unique toolkit offers the opportunity to engage in remote peer-to-peer learning. When investors dive in, they will be given exclusive access to high level industry insights and led through a series of deep dives, paired with the most comprehensive and up to date resource hub at their fingertips, offering a 360 view on the industry.

Alongside Invest in Creative, the Creative ScaleUp programme is also acutely focused on supporting innovative creative founders on their growth journey, and in doing so has teamed up with three of the UK’s thriving creative hubs, Greater Manchester, West Midlands and the West of England. Spearheaded by Greater Manchester Combined Authority and The Growth Company, West of England Combined Authority and West Midlands Combined Authority, the Creative Scale Up programme is working to tip the scales for leading creative founders and match their high growth potential with a growing network of passionate investors.
