What Others Are Saying

Thanks Karen, It was an interesting & productive evening
Peter BlueAngel Investor
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.
Nora Stolz, PhD Candidate Sustainable Finance & Transformation at ESCP Paris
I attended a Gateway2enterprise business investment workshop organised by Karen and found it excellent for navigating the eGenius future course through the complexities of business funding. The excellent range of speakers and opportunities to network with both investors & businesses made for a very varied and enjoyable day.

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
Karen was very detail-oriented, responsive, and helpful as I was searching to secure seed funding for my startup. Thank you Karen!
Harrison Rosenfeld, Co-Founder at PonyPal

Alex WardmanHarwell Capital Family Office
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.
Tieho Mochebelele, Lelapa Family Office
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

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
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

Hi Karen, Thank you for your help and support in raising capital for our startup – Travaxy accessible travel solutions. Even though we are still in the current round, thank you for sharing your network with us, believing in our cause, and helping us get there! Happy New Year, dear friend
lioz amar, CEO and founder at Travaxy
I was honored to a speaker of one of Karen’s ESG Spring Investor event. I’ve known Karen for years and she is amazing to work with in the Family Offices. She is a trusted investor, friend and partner to co invest with.
De Anna Guerreiro-Founder and Managing Partner at Athlon Family Office and Vinecrest 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
