APPROACH - PROCESS
One of Seraphim's strengths is the speed at which investments can be made. We recognise that raising investment is a tremendous burden on often already over-stretched management teams. Minimising the length of time that Management has to spend on the process of fund raising and allowing them to focus on continuing to grow their business is therefore to everyone's benefit.Whereas many other venture capital funds can take several months to give a formal indication of their interest in an investment opportunity, Seraphim prides itself on completing investments as quickly as possible. In several instances, the Fund has taken just 6 weeks from meeting a company to actually investing into it.

Process
The nine partner organisations that have come together to form Seraphim represent an unparalleled network of early stage investors -- both in the UK and the US.
Beyond providing access to more than 1,000 leading business angels, Seraphim's consortium of partner organisations offers numerous other advantages to companies seeking investment. Through the likes of Pi Capital and GLE, the consortium has the potential to provide access to funds above the those available from Seraphim directly. Furthermore, through Summit, GLE and [General Capital], there is potential access to other forms of financing such as asset financing, invoice financing [and venture debt].
Crucially, the consortium also provides excellent support for UK companies seeking to expand into the US. Focus Enterprises, New Vantage Group and Band of Angels have the resources, the sector expertise, the contacts and the experience to assist UK companies looking to crack the elusive US market.
