What Others Are Saying

I have been trying to raise seed funding for about 2 & 1/2 months. At times it has been really difficult but people like Karen make it all worth it because they understand the struggle. She helped guide me when she didn’t have to and asked for nothing in return. Her feedback and guidance have been invaluable and I cannot thank her enough. A great businesswoman and an even greater human being. Thank you!
Nicholas C, Co-Founder & CEO at Feelmyflo
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

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.
Rodrigo Bautista, Founder of Ticketpass.org
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
Last evening was probably the best meeting I have attended. You managed to keep us to time (Ruthlessly) and despite the transport difficulties you had a goodly number of wealthies. The judges set the tone and were surprisingly kind and constructive which set the scene for the greet and meet session. I felt the rivalry, for when I came up somebody had moved our stand into the corner – a matter soon corrected. We had a lot of interest and I will respond to the players next

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.
Matteo T. Finance Director - Passion for wealth creation

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
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.

Karen has remarkable energy and enthusiasm for fundraising and investor relations. I attended a family office investor event in emerging technologies organised by Karen and I was highly impressed by the eclectic range entrepreneurs and investors at the event. I attend many events in the venture capital and startup sector and none were as eye-opening and stimulating at the one that Karen organised. BRAVO! I look forward to keeping in touch with Karen and hopefully working on projects together in the future.
Alexander Groves, Founder at Crossable:
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 have worked with Karen on many occasions. She has always been professional, courteous and engaging. We are currently reviewing a joint investment together and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.
Chris Marson, Director at RTI FAMILY OFFICE. Non Exec Board Member at Vector Innovation Fund
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.
