What Others Are Saying

Karen is one of the most dynamic and driven women I know, her network is vast which enables her working partnerships. Karen has successfully raised investment across multiple sectors, however her specialism is Tech, shes a key note speaker at Fintech and always attracts an audience. On a personal note Karen has supported me in numerous endeavors, including my most recent appointment as Director for T4C UK Ltd. I am sure anyone who seeks out Karen’s services will receive the same vibrant, knowledgeable yet honest opinion on their business strategy, and will value her expertise.

Mind blown!! Karen’s Gateway2enterprise Investment Readiness Accelerator Program exceeded all of my expectations. It was intensive and highly rewarding. All of the speakers were excellent, highly engaging and extremely relevant. With several of the speakers having already gone through the process of starting up successful companies, it was fantastic to get an insight into their experience and mindset. The associated Investor Summit also afforded the opportunity to pitch to, meet with and get invaluable feedback from real investors. Thank you Karen!!

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.

“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.

I attended a ‘Lunch and Learn’ workshop organised by Karen. I’m preparing to fundraise and the workshop was pitched at just the right level to demystify what’s involved when fundraising in relation to crowdfunding in particular. The length of the workshop was good too, timed to make sure we weren’t overwhelmed with too much information. Helpful slides, well presented. All in all, I now feel ready to start the fund raising process with confidence.

The Christmas investor event organised by Karen and the Gateaway2 Enterprise team was high level, with both great investment propositions from exciting startups with real traction and true investors. All pitches were very tight, well presented and convincing, the party that followed was also very friendly and people were open minded. There was as well a very useful follow up day where investors could meet in one place all the startups that had presented at the event

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

We all know that, as angel investors and entrepreneurs, initial business promotions and gaining initial financial strengths are like moving a super tanker. Karen is an example of how you can successfully move the super tanker and how you can gain high quantity of leads in such varied sectors as biotechnology, medical cannabis, clean technologies and real estate. Speak to Karen if you are looking for an extra gear.
