Tero

Your next founder update is 90 days away. The news that should change your mind is already public. A competitor raising at triple your entry price. A key customer lost. A co-founder gone from the filings. A fresh charge registered over the company's assets. These break in the press or land on the register days, sometimes weeks, before they reach an investor's inbox, if they ever do. The active angel works the other way round. See the event, call the founder the same day, ask the question while it still matters. That is how you defend a pro-rata right, price a follow-on, or simply be useful before anyone else has noticed. Doing it by hand means watching TechCrunch, UKTN, Sifted, City AM and BusinessCloud, plus Companies House and the Gazette, for every company you hold, every day. Nobody sustains that across ten holdings. So we built it in. Tero watches every source and every filing in one feed, mapped to the companies you actually own, and tells you the day something moves. The analysis and the monitoring in the same place. Your first report is free at tero.capital. When your portfolio makes the news, are you the first to know, or the last? #angelinvesting #duediligence #privatemarkets

56,800 people now angel invest in the UK. Three years ago it was 36,800. The crowd grew 54%. The tools each angel gets did not. Underneath that number is the one that matters more. Angels doing five or more deals are up 95%. The fastest-growing group is not new angels dipping a toe. It is serious ones building real portfolios. And a portfolio is a different problem from a punt. Ten companies, ten cap tables, ten preference stacks, and filings landing on days you are not watching. The market built monitoring software for the funds that hold that many positions. It built nothing for the angel who now does too. So the fastest-professionalising group of investors in the country is carrying institutional-size risk on a spreadsheet and the founder's goodwill for updates. That is the gap we built Tero to close. Ownership, preferences, debt, directors and a live digital footprint on every company you hold, read as one and kept current, in about a minute each. Your first report is free at tero.capital. If your portfolio doubled tomorrow, would your diligence keep up? #angelinvesting #duediligence #privatemarkets

Before you wire into a UK startup, see what a fund's analyst would find. In about a minute. Free. Tero runs the due diligence a fund takes for granted on any UK company, and hands you one report instead of twelve browser tabs. Type in a company name and you get, joined into a single view: ▸ what you'd own, and who gets paid before you (the SH01 preference stack) ▸ the secured debt that ranks ahead of every shareholder (the charges register) ▸ who really controls it (the PSC register) ▸ the founders' track record: FCA, the Gazette, sanctions and court records ▸ the live digital footprint: web traffic on Semrush, the Trustpilot score, hiring and app health All of it is free and public. The catch was always that it sits in eight places that never talk to each other, and reading them together is an afternoon nobody has. Tero does that join for you, live, in about a minute. Your first report is free. Run one on a company you already know, and see what you missed. → tero.capital #angelinvesting #duediligence #privatemarkets

A startup can raise millions and quietly let its product go dark. The filings will never tell you. The internet will. Companies House shows you the legal shell: the shares, the directors, the money raised. All true, all useful. None of it tells you whether the company is still building. The live footprint does, and it is all sitting in public: ▸ visits: is web traffic climbing or sliding, month on month (Semrush, Cloudflare Radar) ▸ reputation: what the Trustpilot rating and its trend actually say ▸ product: is the app still in the store, still being updated ▸ team: hiring, or quietly shrinking ▸ brand: is search interest rising or fading (Google Trends) A clean filing history next to a fading footprint is the tell that matters. It is also the one almost nobody checks, because every signal lives in a different tab. So we put them in one place. Tero pulls the traffic trend, the Trustpilot score, the hiring and the app health live, and lines them up against the filings, so the legal story and the real-world story sit in a single view: agreeing, or not. The register tells you a company exists. The footprint tells you it is alive. Your first report is free at tero.capital. If a company in your portfolio started sliding tomorrow, how would you be the first to know? #angelinvesting #duediligence #ukstartups

Everything you need to check a startup is free, public and online. That is the surprise. The problem was never access. It was the join. The story a company tells is spread across sources that never speak to each other: ▸ what you own and who gets paid first: the SH01 share filings ▸ the debt that ranks ahead of you: the charges register ▸ who really controls it: the PSC register ▸ whether there is a real business behind the deck: the digital footprint, search traffic on Semrush, the app store, live hiring, GitHub ▸ the money: the accounts Each one is a fragment. On its own, any of them can flatter a company or hide the risk. Read together, they either confirm the story or quietly break it. That reading is an afternoon per company, and it stretches further once you add the FCA register, the Gazette and sanctions and court records. An angel writing a £25k cheque rarely has that afternoon, so it does not get done, and the gap turns up at exit. Tero does the join. One company in, one clear picture out: ownership, preferences, debt, directors, and a live digital footprint from Semrush and the app store, read as one. About a minute, not an afternoon. Your first report is free at tero.capital. What is the one thing you always wish you had checked before you wired? #angelinvesting #duediligence #privatemarkets

Institutional private markets run on software costing between $15,000 and $1.2m a year. PitchBook and Preqin for data. Chronograph and iLEVEL for look-through monitoring. Allvue and eFront for fund accounting and LP reporting. Canoe to pull data out of documents nobody wants to read. Every one of them is priced for a fund, sold to a fund, and built around a fund's problems. Meanwhile £1.85bn went into UK companies under EIS and SEIS in 2024-25. Much of it from individuals whose median first cheque is £25,000. For them the market has built almost nothing. Companies House, a browser tab, a spreadsheet, and an email from the founder if they are lucky. It is not that angels are careless. It is that the answer to a simple question, what do you hold and who is paid before you, sits scattered across eight free registers that do not talk to each other. Institutions solved that by buying software. Angels were never offered any. So we built Tero (tero.capital). Primary-record diligence and monitoring on the companies you actually hold: the SH01 preference stack, the charges, the director history, the filings the day they land. The tools institutions take for granted, for the people taking more risk than they do. Your first report is free at tero.capital. What would you check, if checking took a minute? #angelinvesting #duediligence #privatemarkets

One question every angel should be able to answer: what do you own, and who gets paid before you? Here is where the answer lives. ▸ Companies House overview: how many shares exist. Not what they entitle you to. ▸ Filing history: which SH01s exist. Not what is inside them. ▸ The SH01 PDF: the prescribed particulars, where the preferences hide. One per round. ▸ PSC register: control, in 25% bands. Not ownership. ▸ Charges register: secured debt. Not convertibles. ▸ Accounts: for a micro-entity, almost nothing. ▸ The founder's cap table: issued shares, usually without the unconverted ASAs. ▸ The press: the headline, months late. Eight sources. All free. All public. Not one of them wrong. And not one of them answers the question alone. Nothing is hidden. The answer simply does not exist until someone reads all eight together, and nobody has an afternoon per deal to spend on it. So it does not get done, and the preference stack turns up at exit. The most expensive moment to find it. We built Tero to do the join. One company in, one answer out: the preference stack, the charges, the director history, the filings the day they land. That afternoon, in about a minute. Your first report is free at tero.capital. How many of the eight did your last diligence touch? #angelinvesting #duediligence #privatemarkets
