Old Marlburian Angel Investment Network (OMAIN)
Marlborough College has a strong tradition of producing independently minded, creative students with an appetite for risk. Many of our former pupils have gone on to establish their own businesses and become successful entrepreneurs. To foster this entrepreneurialism the Old Marlburian Angel Investment Network (OMAIN) was launched in 2019. Its objective is to help entrepreneurial OMs access seed or development funding and advice for their early-stage businesses from OMs, current or former parents of pupils and anyone else with a Marlborough College association looking for interesting investment opportunities.
How it Works
OMAIN acts as an introduction platform between entrepreneurs and potential investors with a meaningful Marlborough College connection. Through an online portal, events and other communication mediums OMAIN makes potential investors aware of possible investment opportunities in OM linked companies. Should a company and an investor conclude an investment agreement following an introduction through the OMAIN network then the company receiving the investment makes a donation of no less than 5% of the capital it raised through the OMAIN platform to the Marlborough College Foundation.
OMAIN itself takes no fees for making introductions, does not act as an adviser, undertakes no due diligence of the parties or business opportunities involved nor does it recommend investment opportunities.
