Investment Manager @Clarendon Fund Managers

CFM is a venture capital fund manager based in Belfast. We manage Co-Fund NI, a £50 million equity fund, provided by Invest NI, that will co-invest in deals led by business angels and private investors. To date, we have invested over £31m in multiple funding rounds into more than 80 companies, along with matching private investment of more than £50m. I joined CFM as the Portfolio Manager for all these companies and was promoted to Investment Manager after completing a number of company investments. In addition I am the HBAN Coordinator for the North Region. CFM manages HBAN Ulster, the Halo & Business Angel Network in Northern Ireland. HBAN is the trusted network for business angels on the island of Ireland. Since its inception in 2019, HBAN Ulster has so far facilitated investment into 56 NI companies, leveraging £8.7m of angel funding with round sizes totalling £45m. We are continuing to match investors with qualified pre-screened investment opportunities through our pitching events, online deal flow management platform and personal introductions.
