About us
Are you a social entrepreneur hunting for that first cheque? But you’re struggling to find investors who understand your mission and vision, facing difficulty in securing funding to kickstart your impactful venture. Your extraordinary talent is getting overlooked by investors but you’re scared of getting left behind. Then I'm here to help... - We find extraordinary, social entrepreneurs - Secure them investment from our community - Support them to grow In the first 10 months of operating, we have raised over £500k for purpose-driven start-ups. If that wets your appetite, feel free to DM me. 💜 I'm a social entrepreneur turned impact investor. I founded Daring Capital to invest in extraordinary, underrepresented entrepreneurs creating profitable companies that make the world a better place. Our focus is on early stage businesses working with disadvantaged groups such as women, ethnic minorities and those experiencing mental health challenges 🚲Prior to this, I founded the Bike Project in March 2013. We refurbish second-hand bikes to refugees in London and Birmingham. We grew to £2.5m ARR and we we have given away over 11,000 bikes and supported many more refugees through our other programmes. We have won several awards including The European Union Social Innovation competition and The best charity at the National Lottery Awards. I personally won the Lloyds Banking Group Social Entrepreneur of the Year in 2015. ⭐ I'm on the social investment committees for two large foundations and I have previously been on the boards of several charities.
