Angel Insights | Your guide to angel investing

How a biochemist turned management consultant became one of the UK's most experienced angel investors — and what new angels can learn from his journey. When Simon Blakey made his first angel investment in 2000, the startup ecosystem looked radically different. There was no AngelList, no Seed Legals, and certainly no standardised term sheets. Finding deals meant subscribing to the "Venture Capital Report" — a physical, green-bound publication that featured just two or three opportunities with basic due diligence notes. Fast-forward 25 years, and Blakey has completed over 100 funding rounds across 50-60 investments, ranging from robotics companies eventually acquired by GE Aviation to ticketing platforms processing over a billion in GMV. As Chair of the Investment Committee at Playfair Capital and a board member of Cambridge Angels, he's witnessed the entire evolution of early-stage investing. His journey offers invaluable lessons for today's angel investors, particularly those making the transition from successful entrepreneurship to investing.…

1 Methane: the super warmer gas that everyone's overlooked —and the startup turning it into clean energy 24:48
While carbon dioxide (CO2) often dominates climate discussions, methane plays a disproportionately large role in global warming. "Methane is a bit like the ugly duckling compared to CO2. It's between 28 and 84 times more potent, which means when it's in the atmosphere, it absorbs much more heat." We had the privilege of speaking with Louise Parlons Bentata, the CEO and co-founder of Bluemethane. The conversation revealed the surprising scale of the methane problem and how Bluemethane is pioneering innovative solutions to tackle it, turning it from a warming agent into a clean energy. Find out more about the Carbon13 SEIS fund which backed Bluemethane and many companies like it.…
