Orchard Growth Partners appointed as Resource Partner to Keiretsu Forum London
Orchard Growth Partners is pleased to announce that it has been appointed a Resource Partner to Keiretsu Forum London, a leading international Business Angel network.
Under the appointment, Orchard will make part-time Finance Director services available to companies applying for and achieving funding through Keiretsu Forum London.
Keiretsu provides early-stage capital to high-quality, diverse investment opportunities. It is unique as an Angel network because it is international with a global network and sister offices in cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver, Beijing and Barcelona. It is thus able to provide its Angels with a global diversity of deal flow.
Keiretsu Forum London launched in March 2008 and already has a wide pool of investment members. It provides the Keiretsu group with a window on the global centre that is the London Stock Exchange, including AIM, the world’s most successful smaller company market. The first Keiretsu-financed company to use London for an IPO, Napo Pharmaceuticals, listed on the LSE main market in 2006.
Lord Beaverbrook, Co-President of Keiretsu Forum London said:
“We are delighted to have Orchard as a partner. Keiretsu Forum’s objective is to provide quality investment opportunities for its members from our international pool of opportunities and Orchard’s part-time finance director activities are a good complement to ensure that companies applying to Keiretsu have sound financial information to back up their investment proposition.”
Ash Mehta, Chief Executive of Orchard Growth Partners said:
“We are pleased to be working with Keiretsu Forum London. Keiretsu’s track record of providing a quality deal flow of growing companies is second to none and we look forward to assisting their clients.”
