🐣 Sometimes it's easy to think a great company has been born overnight but it's rarely true. Take Vinted for example - sure, they seem to be everywhere right now and just secured a €340 million secondary share sale but the truth is, Vinted was founded 15 years ago! 😮 All that time, not only has their team been growing and building, but no doubt the cogs of PR have also been turning. 👩🏫 If you're keen to start PR for your climate business, come and spend the evening with us to learn from Juliette Devillard, the founder of Climate Connection and Abigail Smith, director at Harpswood. Secure your place via the link in the comments. 👇 💡 EVENT: Mastering PR and Public Speaking for Your Climate Tech Startup 🗣 SPEAKERS: Juliette Devillard and Abigail Smith 📆 WHEN?

😇 Here are a few facts / tips about angel investing that you might not know: 💸 You don't need a spare £100k to start angel investing. You could start with small cheques of £1k. 💸 If you'd like some guidance before you start, you can go to Angel Investing School. 💸 If you don't want to do it alone, you could form an angel syndicate, so you pool your money with other angels as one entity. 💸 There is a huge lack of diversity when it comes to angel investing, and that needs to change! Our founder, Cherry Swayne, is an angel investor and loves to share her experiences and support others to start investing too. Recently, she's had a few messages from people wanting to know more about her path to investing, so in the interests of: 🧠 Democratising access to the information for as many as possible ⏳ Time efficiency 💡 Trying something new She'll be doing a LIVE Q&A about 'Getting Started in Angel Investing' 🙌🏻 This Thursday (24th Oct) at 12:30pm (BST), she'll be live on LinkedIn to answer all of your questions. If you can't make it, but you have questions, don't worry. Please put any questions you'd like the answer to in the comments👇 and she'll answer them during session and send you the recording.
