If you are looking to take your startup/Business to the next level, then she has vast knowledge and a large network of investor that respect her on a professional and personal level. We met and networked with some amazing mentors on the day of the Gateway2Enterprise accelerator program in Oct 2020, that have made a huge impact on our way of thinking and have allowed to take our vision above and beyond. We’d like to especially thank, Matt Black, Cedric Torrosian, Roshni Durve and all the other mentors that shared their time with us. Thank you and Best wishes.

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. Saed Alzein | LinkedIn have had the pleasure of attending a number of Karen’s events and they are always very well managed and provide interesting projects, along with up to date business themes. Well worth attending Karen’s events as you will always learn something new and meet knowledgeable people with useful projects. Karen is always positive and professional with loads of energy, a pleasure to work with. I’m looking forward to her next event! Olivia Cooper | LinkedIn

“Karen hosted a Family Office event exploring some key issues and opportunities in the Climate Change arena. Keynote speakers were all highly knowledgeable and compelling, while new and emerging talent were able to showcase how impact investing by family Offices could make a real change in this crucial area. The whole event was well managed and calibrated by Karen and her team, and I very much look forward to future events.” Matthew Hulme MDJ Partnership

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!

Karen and her firm Gateway2Enterprise are the gold standard when it comes to fundraising for technology startups. Karen is super intelligent, creative, well networked with private investors and extremely professional. She is also a genuinely caring person. I highly recommend Karen and Gateway2Enterprise to anyone.

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.

Being a first-time founder can be very stressful sometimes, but I was lucky enough to get introduced to Karen who is a real treasure when it comes to connecting people and opportunities. Her personal warms and availability means, she is a natural mentor with a business hat on. She also has incredibly insights into the European startup ecosystem. I can highly recommend anyone to work with Karen.

I had the pleasure of working with Karen in 2019 as a Key Note Speaker and Judge for our Africa Start Up Gate Summit 2019. Karen has continued to support our Tunisian Eco system and that of the MENA countries and her experience that she shared with the delegates at the Summit was and it to this day far reaching to inspire and educate Entrepreneurs in this region. I also know that Karen continued her networking with Inviting some of our Delegates to London to her Family Office Events and some of our Entrepreneurs attended her Accelerator Program. Looking forward to working further with Karen for the future of not only Tunisia as we grow but also the MENA area.

As an overseas investor, I have attended a few of Karen’s events and am pleased to say, that it is the best opportunities for looking for fresh and innovative investments for any potential investor.  Not only is Karen’s events very enjoyable to attend from both a professional and social standpoint, she also seems to have an innate sense to select investments and opportunities that she knows will appeal to her investor’s appetites, whereby the program and itinerary flows systematically from speakers to presentations,  the audience is assured to have a selection of quality investments options at the end of the event. On addition, I know that Karen personally screens and selects each proposal and opportunity, not only based on the potential, profitability and viability of the project, but also based on each individual founder and merit, so therefore I have full confidence and no hesitations in exploring taking up offers and investment opportunities that I receive from Karen’s events.
Pamela, Angel Investor Family Office Asia
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.
