Venture capital firm TechStart Ventures and angel investors Gareth Williams, Robin Knox, Ross Tuffee and Rob Dobson have topped a list of most highly-rated Scottish investors, based on the views of early-stage founders in Scotland.
While 76% of respondents would recommend their Scottish-based investors, the new survey revealed concerns about the low-risk appetite of Scottish investors that could see more early stage businesses setting up or relocating outside Scotland.
The research, organised by independent founders based in Scotland, was started to highlight opportunities for improvement in the Scottish early-stage investment landscape. The survey took in 61 individual founders.
