A new report co-written by Professor Niall MacKenzie, Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, Strategy and Innovation, has found that angel‑led investment in Scotland has supported more than 41,000 jobs at a lower policy cost per job of any comparable UK policy initiative.

The analysis of early‑stage investment over three decades provides the first comprehensive analysis of the Scottish angel investment market, drawing on data from Angel Capital Scotland (ACS) covering 1,753 investment deals into 509 companies.

Researchers found that £1.7 billion was invested into early‑stage Scottish companies between 1996 and 2023, with around a quarter coming from the public sector.
