What Others Are Saying

Have some good news, I met with one of our potential investors this morning and he said he is interested to invest and he is fine with the current valuation. I’ll keep him informed in the coming months and so fingers crossed. This proves that you are absolutely amazing, your words are like an oracle, what you say becomes reality.

I recently attended an Investor event at MMU Manchester by Gateway2Enterprise. It was wonderful! All the speakers including Karen were just appropriate and all inspiring. I highly recommend Gateway2enterprise events to any SMEs who want to take their business to the next level.

A great event Karen. I’m not a fan of networking but yesterday was full of fantastic people and I came away with lots of new knowledge to digest! The excellent range of speakers and opportunities to network with both investors & businesses made for a very varied and enjoyable day. Thanks again.

I first met Karen through a network of Women in Tech in London and then as a client of PwC which then developed into the Scale Program London Manchester Karen then used her wide investor networking skills to source us investment globally and advise re networks and our documents. Though we raised Karen continues to communicate with us and we will be using her skills for 2019 next stage raise Series B

I was honoured to be on the Family Office panel for Karen’s Online Spring Family Office/Investor Conference on Impact/ESG/Technology Family Office Trends in March of 2021. She and I first met some years ago in Tunisia where we were both speakers at an event supported by various governments including Germany, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. Not only does Karen have a strong grasp on impact investing for investment fund mandates but most importantly, she has on-the-ground experience and networks in emerging economies. I look forward to her Family Office Summit on 22 July 2021 in London. Karen is a very lovely person to work with and I personally intend to do more work with her great organization.

Karen was very detail-oriented, responsive, and helpful as I was searching to secure seed funding for my startup. Thank you Karen!
Harrison Rosenfeld, Co-Founder at PonyPal
Karen gave an amazing support on documents for raising funds. Karen is a genuine and an extremely smart lady. Simply put, Karen stands out from the rest of the crowd, in all aspects. Thank you Karen!

I enjoyed your event – you assembled some interesting companies, kept the pitching tight, fielded a top of the line panel, and led us out with a song – what’s not to like!

I met Karen at her Accelerator Program with Key Stage Ventures: ‘Investment Readiness’. I was initially impressed with Karen’s and her team knowledge, so I asked them if they would like to help us raise our first round of investment. We started working together during the Pandemic COVID-19 and within this period we raised £250k with a Family Office and the option of further investment. I liked their approach. They allocate their team members to parachute into your company to look at your strategy, structure and then work with you daily. Karen lead on raising the investment through her global network of investors and also supported us with the Term Sheets; while Matt guided us on our company structure and management. I would recommend and endorse Karen and her team if you wish not only to raise investment but also put together/review your fundraising strategy. We will continue to work within them and be part of their Accelerator Program to present at their Annual Family Office Conference on October 2020.

I had the honour of knowing Karen for couple of years now, she is one of the most energetic dedicated and passionate fund raisers I have ever met. Through her family office events in Mayfair London, I came to discover a gem in the family offices business, she would always make sure you are in the right place to connect with suitable leads. Karen is real asset for any startup wanting to raise considerable funds, the key which will open many doors for founders. (99+) A.

Learning and having experienced keynote speakers attend was a valuable aspect of the conference

“I could not recommend Karen and her team enough through the whole fundraising process. Their support in getting your company pitch perfect ready for their family office fundraising events as well as the calibre of the family offices you have exposure to are just first class. Once you have family offices interested, Karen guides you seamlessly through the process to support both the family office and the company raising needs.  If your company is looking for long-term investors that add value to any startup, Karen and her team will be the ideal partner for your fundraise”. Thank you for your ongoing support. It means a lot to me.

Karen made it easy to approach investors in my business. I met Karen when she spoke at the 2018 Business Show on Access to Funding and Investment Finance Grants Masterclasses for SME’s. I approached Karen after the event to attain a more personal advise for my business. Although a busy schedule at the event, Karen gave pointers and advised on areas I had not considered. The experience was eye opening and I would recommend a one to one opportunity for other upcoming entrepreneurs.
Kofi Asiedu-Berchie, SOFTWARE ENGINEER
Karen is one of our business partners. She was a speaker in our conferences in Zurich and London. Speakers are welcome to invite up to three VIPs to join our conferences. We were always surprised by the amazing guests she brought along. She has a unique way of collaboration and is an intelligent, generous and authentic business partner. We are honoured to be able to collaborate with her.
