About us
Forbury Investment Network
Forbury Investment Network (FIN) is a platform established to facilitate investment in early- and growth-stage companies in the technology sectors, established by Clarkslegal and its subsidiary Forbury Environmental. Securing funding to develop new sustainable technologies and services is often a major hurdle for many businesses, particularly start-ups and those lacking an established track-record. Support for small and medium size businesses and academic institutions is urgently required and it is on this basis FIN was developed.
Via a secure website, FIN enables entrepreneurs wishing to raise funds to submit "funding proposals" to be viewed by investors. Entrepreneurs have the opportunity to present their funding proposals to FIN's network of investors at regular investment meetings. To ensure investors are presented with the highest quality of investment opportunities, all companies undergo preparation with the FIN Advisory Panel prior to investment meetings, to receive thorough feedback from both internal and external technical, legal, financial and intellectual property experts. FIN also provides a regularly updated online knowledge bank, advising entrepreneurs on issues such as presentation guidance and steps for creating a business plan, as well as sector reviews for investor members.
