SUMMARY:InvestorHours39 with Harby Janagol
DESCRIPTION:About Harby: \nInvestor focus is on founder‑led\, SEIS‑eligible businesses at the pre‑seed and seed stage\, focusing on innovation\, scalability\, and strong leadership. Investors are sector‑agnostic but require UK incorporation and compliance with SEIS rules. \nCore Investment Criteria for SEIS (Founder‑Led Businesses) \n1. Stage & Eligibility \n\nPre‑Seed / Seed stage – typically before significant revenues.\nSEIS‑eligible – must meet HMRC requirements (UK incorporated\, trading less than 2 years\, gross assets under £200k\, fewer than 25 employees).\nFounder‑led – preference for businesses where founders are actively driving growth and strategy.\n\n2. Investment Ticket & Structure \n\nTypical ticket size: £100k – £500k per company.\nFund structure: Angel Fund SEIS\, diversified portfolio across 10+ companies.\nMinimum investment (for investors): £10\,000\, but founders receive capital aligned to growth milestones.\n\n3. Sector Focus \n\nSector‑agnostic – open to fintech\, SaaS\, life sciences\, consumer tech\, and beyond.\nInnovation priority – preference for businesses with defensible IP\, scalable models\, or disruptive technology.\n\n4. Founder & Team \n\nStrong founder commitment – founders must be full‑time and demonstrate resilience.\nGovernance readiness – ability to work with investors on reporting\, compliance\, and board oversight.\nVision & execution – clear roadmap for scaling\, with evidence of traction (early customers\, pilots\, partnerships).\n\n5. Financial & Compliance \n\nSEIS compliance – founders must ensure HMRC Advance Assurance is in place.\nUse of funds – capital should be allocated to growth activities (product development\, hiring\, market entry).\nReporting discipline – founders must provide regular updates\, financial statements\, and align with investor expectations.\n\n6. Value Proposition for Founders \n\n\nCapital + network – Investors provide not only funding but also access to its investor network. \n\nPortfolio support – mentoring\, introductions\, and follow‑on funding opportunities.\nInsurance against dilution – SEIS/EIS tax reliefs make early investment more attractive to angels\, reducing founder pressure.\n\nStrategic Takeaway \nFor founder‑led businesses\, the key to securing SEIS investment is demonstrating innovation\, resilience\, and compliance with SEIS rules. Founders should prepare HMRC Advance Assurance\, a clear growth plan\, and evidence of traction to stand out. \n  \n\nAbout InvestorHours: \nInvestorHours are exclusively for Level39 members.
