What Others Are Saying

Big thank you to Karen you for her help, guidance and warm hearted approach since we met. Karen’s industry knowledge is second to none, which is rare to find. I look forward to continuing working together over the coming years!

I enjoyed the event, thanks for the invite. Various good conversations afterwards. Some fascinating and varied pitches representing a wide spectrum of ideas.

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.
Nathalie Christmann-Cooper, Software Engineer | Career change advocate
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
MartinSpinal Foundation (Pitching on the night)
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.

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
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.

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
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
Cedric Torossian CEO
Karen is a big personality with lots to offer and extremely approachable. 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. A. Saed Alzein | LinkedIn

It was a great pleasure to meet you at the Business show on Thursday and was very regretful you took the time to speak with us. We enjoyed your presentation very much and would like to be considered as a company you help to archive great things.
