The Dragons’ Den style event at Hallidays office at Kings Reach Business Park with North West Business Angels brought five small businesses to meet potential investors.
Hallidays MD Nigel Bennett offered all the firms pitching free annual membership of their Business AM Growth Programme.
Nigel has also revealed ‘three of the firms have received significant interest’.
Steve Wall, from NW Business Angles, said: “The interest from this event has been exceptional.
“The average for the UK is about a 15 per cent success rate; if we end up with 60 per cent of the pitchers receiving offers this will be phenomenal.”
Matt Tomkin, from T3 Sports Technologies, was looking for investment to help design and develop technology for their new cycling chamois pad.
He said: “It was a well-organised event with some great pitches and what seems to be a great base of investors.”
Other firms looking for a cash injection were Piccolo Group, KMS, Esteem No Pause and Shout Platform Limited.
John Hearn, from KMS, said: “It was very encouraging to have such positive investment discussions with interested parties.”
