Connect East is an independent members-only network providing a resource to develop investment-ready opportunities to benefit its clients – both investors and investees. It also provides a discussion forum for private equity investments, a repository for deal data, and a secure communications and co-investing collaboration channel between investor members.
It’s simple, self-drive, and secure. It lets investors and potential investees connect without intermediaries and without fees. It allows members to offer investment or co-investment opportunities to other members safely and securely. And it provides the ability for investors to share intelligence about deal-flow between themselves, provide decision-support information, and a way of encouraging new equity investors to join the Connect East community.
We accept applications from all sectors, and from pre-revenue as well as established businesses looking for growth capital.
As an investor member, you can create a user name on our Collaboration portal that is visible publicly, while keeping your personal details private. Because the portal enables you to send and receive emails anonymously, you need never reveal your identity to other members until deals develop, if that’s your preference.
Membership will be immediately rescinded if anyone attempts to use this community for promotional activities, or to selling products or services to members.
