Summary## Founder & UK Government funding expertI cofounded GrantTree in 2010 to help UK tech companies to raise money from the government. Since then we've grown to a team of 35, served in excess of 600 clients having delivered close to £60M worth of equity free funding. ## Who I can helpIf you've been spending money on development and would like some of it back (even if you're unprofitable), talk to us about R&D Tax Credits.If your company wants to invest in new technology project, but you would like the government to decrease your risk by match funding you, talk to us about InnovateUK Grants.If you're making money with patented products, and would like to pay less Corporation Tax, talk to us about the Patent Box..## Seed investorI invest in 2-4 SEIS or EIS businesses a year. I always know the founding team and have a good idea or risks and problems they are facing. As "saleswoman from hell" myself, I have a bias for commercial traction. I know a lot of other investors big and small so always happy to introduce you and/or give advice on your pitch deck if I see drive, commitment and realism in your vision. ## Conference SpeakerThese days I speak internationally, typically several times a month. Events I've already been invited to as a workshop leader or keynote include: Dublin Tech Summit, InfoShare, Bitspiration, London Tech Week, Tech North Summit, TEDxIslington, Uprise Festival, Pirate Summit. I also know many interesting people so if you're looking for a presenter for your event, get in touch as there's a good chance I'll know someone suitable.##Specialties:UK Government Funding, R&D Tax Credits, SEIS, InnovateUK Grants, Patent Box, Startup funding, Startups, Seed Entrepreneurs, Seed Funding, UK business, Female Entrepreneurship, Holacracy, Conscious Capitalism, Open Culture, Human Potential Advocate (a term I just coined up!).
