About me
I joined Seedcamp in 2014 and now co-lead the Investment Team. Over a decade in, I’m still fired up every day by the chance to work with Europe’s top-tier founders. My passion lies in partnering with outliers—helping them push boundaries and build groundbreaking tech companies. Beyond the incredible founders, I’m equally proud of the exceptional team we’ve built at Seedcamp, allowing us to stand out as the best Day One investor across Europe.
Growing up in the North East of England, I was always intrigued by what makes companies tick. Once I accepted that central midfield for Newcastle wasn’t in the cards, I shifted focus, looking for ways to merge my love for business, tech, and people. After studying Economics at York and finishing Law School in London, I became a corporate and VC lawyer. While law was a great training ground, I quickly realized I wanted to be closer to the action. Moving to the investor side felt like the perfect fit, and joining Seedcamp in 2014 allowed me to jump straight into our tight-knit investment team, where I had the privilege of being part of the journey backing game-changers like UiPath and Revolut. I’m competitive by nature, and while I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished, I’m always pushing myself to be a better partner for the founders we support.
When I’m not immersed in work, you’ll find me staying active, raving about the latest tech trends, cheering on Newcastle United, or chasing after my two young daughters.
From Day One
I’m passionate about backing relentlessly driven founders tackling hard problems and guiding them from Day One through to product-market fit. I’m especially drawn to tough, regulated, or overlooked sectors, which is why I often partner with founders in Healthcare, Fintech, and Legaltech, among others. I’m also fascinated by the game-changing potential at the intersection of technology and life sciences.
I firmly believe Europe will continue to produce category-defining tech companies that will make a huge impact both economically and socially. My mission is to support the founders behind these companies at their earliest stages, leveraging the full power of the Seedcamp team to help them succeed.
