What Others Are Saying

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.

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 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.

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 worked with Karen on a challenging fund-raising project, on which she worked tirelessly and faultlessly. Her energy and enthusiasm did not flag once until every part of the project was complete. I would thoroughly recommend working with her.
Geoff Miller, Chair of Globalworth Real Estate Investments
Karen and I worked for months together before the amazing event she hosted in July 2021. The level of attention, advice and promotion she offered to our new Venture Capital fund was invaluable. We are really excited to continue working with her and anyone else who gets the chance to will be extremely fortunate. Thank you Karen.
Sahil Chopra, Simsan Ventures Fund | Family Office Events 2021
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.

Peder Engdahl, Sustainability MicroLearning
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!
Shane SmithAngel Investor
I can’t stress enough how great a mentor Karen has been on my journey into business. Her knowledge of all things to do with business planning and finance is fantastic and no matter what the problem, Karen always seems to have the solution. Along with having an extensive business knowledge Karen is also a great person with so much infectious energy, she is a joy to work with.
Rob Conroy, Music & Media
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
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
Marc F, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Karen’s recent interview at Expanse Summit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFyP4WnNdQM was insightful and refreshing. There is little information about how to engage with UHNWI and Family Office investors, yet they require a bespoke engagement approach – this short video is a great introduction and highlights the incredible opportunities in this space for both investors and entrepreneurs alike.
Sophie Burgis, Cyan Finance - The Specialist Green, Social And Future Capital Provider
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.
