Though upbeat about the quality of investment opportunities across the Scottish business landscape, Jackie Waring of Investing Women (IW) is also a bit frustrated.
While her group has agreed several deals in recent months, most of them remain under wraps for the time being, making it difficult to drill down into detailed activity.
“We have done a pile of investment recently, but for various reasons people are holding back and saying no, let’s not say anything about that yet,” she explains.
There’s currently £80,000 in the pipeline for a female-founded technology company working in the music sector, while another deal was recently completed to support a film and media venture whose technology will increase the diversity of content in that sector. Ms Waring believes the creative industries represent a “big growth” area.
