We get involved early.
When it matters.
Sector focus first, hands-on from day one, structured for exit, and tax-smart by design. The Vantus Angels approach blends operator instinct with disciplined capital deployment — and pursues EIS/SEIS eligibility for every qualifying investment.
How We Work
04
We get involved early.
When it matters.
Founded by operators and investors who have both launched, scaled and exited exhibition businesses and raised and deployed capital for investors. We aim to bring capital, contacts and hard-won pattern recognition to every investment we support.
Sector Focus First
Exhibitions, conferences and trade events only. We seek to invest exclusively where we have deep pattern recognition, venue relationships and buyer knowledge.
Active from Day One
Hands-on engagement from the start. We intend to assist with venue strategy, CRM systems, AI spine deployment, sales methodologies, operational playbooks and capital raising.
Built for Exit
Every investment is structured with exit pathways from day one. We aim to leverage our knowledge of trade acquirers, exit valuation drivers and what buyers want.
Tax-Smart Structuring
We seek to utilise EIS and SEIS eligibility for qualifying investments — structuring capital efficiently for both founders and the investors we bring to the table.
EIS & SEIS
eligible by design.
The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) are UK government-backed programmes designed to encourage investment into early-stage companies by offering significant tax reliefs to qualifying investors.
Vantus Angels aims to structure each qualifying investment for EIS or SEIS eligibility.
