What Others Are Saying

Learning and having experienced keynote speakers attend was a valuable aspect of the conference
Ricky MartinFounder & CEOLondon
I attended the Investments and Crowdfunding Workshop in Manchester and found it very informative. Not only did the group receive excellent advice and guidance about the development of Crowdfunding platforms we also had access to legal experts, accountancy advice and a local Entrepreneur who took questions from the floor. Fantastic experience and information – Thank you, I would highly recommend it.
Claire WilsonLiverpool Business Fair March Liverpool 2017 Key Note Speaker
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
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

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 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.
Joe O Itua, Director | Finance Leader
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.

Excellent talks and even better business networking opportunities. Made many great new contacts for potentially mutually profitable business
Christopher NorrisSerial entrepreneur
It was an honour to have an honest account of your journey and achievements. You’re an aspirational lady. We are delighted to have won mentoring time with you.
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
Karen and her firm Gateway2Enterprise are the gold standard when it comes to fundraising for technology startups. Karen is super intelligent, creative, well networked with private investors and extremely professional. She is also a genuinely caring person. I highly recommend Karen and Gateway2Enterprise to anyone.
Shiva V, CEO | Strategist | Mergers and Acquisitions | Venture Capital | Board Chair
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!
George Burgess, Raising Capital for Real Estate Developers
I 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.
