The post Investment update: October – a casual £227million secured in equity investment and £200m South West fund appeared first on TechSpark.

With September already rapidly disappearing into the rear view mirror (and only 3 months left until the end of 2021) I’m taking a few moments to reflect on the successes in equity investment in the South West in the last 30 days.
