I've founded two companies, RealSport (acquired) & Connectd. RealSport grew to a community of over 8 million monthly unique users across UK, USA & Australia. After RealSport was acquired in 2018, I moved into the investment space. This connected me to an entirely new community - but many of the frustrations I felt as a Founder were also true as an investor and start-up advisor. There was a distinct lack of diversity and accessibility in investment opportunities for start-ups. All the same types of deals were going to the same group of investors - stifling innovation for both the founders and potential investors.Connectd disrupts this cycle.We connect startups with investors and advisors, giving them direct access to the right people.
