Ask HN: How do we find an investor in the EU/UK for something very technical?

This touches on an interesting conundrum: I was one of the founders of zynamics (exit to Google in 2011), and I have been looking for attractive angel investment opportunities in Europe for a while - and also have tried to volunteer some time to do startup mentoring.

At the same time, I still have a day job - in Zurich - so I can't go to the various "startup meetups" or whatever and waste time there :-)

So - how does someone with experience starting/running a very technical company with an interest in doing some angel investing get in contact with people in the EU that are promising? I haven't found a good way outside of asking around via email ...

Did you give a talk in Cambridge a few years ago? I went to a Zynamics talk and it was absolutely fascinating - really cool stuff you guys did.

Yep, that was me :-) - although already post-acquisition. Alan Mycroft had invited me over, I really enjoyed the visit :)
