I have over a decade of experience in running my own businesses, signposting to great professional contacts, and making a fantastic impact on other businesses when it comes to things like investor readiness, capital raising, business strategy and  e-commerce.

On top of the number of prominent partnerships in my line of work, including Expert Lab and Crowdcube, my credentials include serving as Mentor for Virgin Start-ups, LaunchLab, The Prince’s Trust, and leading as an Equality Ambassador/mentor for SCALEINK – an investment accelerator programme that serves purely to support tech start-ups.

My are of expertise is getting businesses investment ready – I help start ups and SMEs create a concise  pitch deck that clears shows their business and value proposition, design and create a pitch deck, create a fundraising road map eg Crowdfunding, angel and private investors. For start ups, I also help them define their product, help them get validation for their business with an MVP and clearly understand their market so they can present a clear and compelling case to investors, whichever capital raising route they choose.
