Founded in 2009, Rivers Capital Partners is a venture capital firm based in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. They manage the North East Microloan Fund, which provides straightforward loans between £1,000 and £25,000, and the North East Angel Fund, which invests between £10,000 and £150,000 in small companies with growth potential. Unlike traditional financing sources, the Microloan Fund focuses on the quality of the business model and team dedication rather than assets. The Angel Fund not only invests but also aims to stimulate Business Angel activity in the North East region. What sets Rivers Capital Partners apart is their team's firsthand entrepreneurial experience, as they have successfully managed and raised finance for their own businesses. Their preferred sectors for investment include services, manufacturing, software, and technology.
