Marketing Manager at Global Blockchain Incubator | Start-up Founder | E-commerce Specialist

✋ Founders. Investors. Service providers.

If you’re a founder… you’re forced into cold outreach that leads nowhere—or worse, you get the meeting, but all the pressure is on you because the investor holds the leverage from the start.

If you’re an investor… you’re flooded with irrelevant decks, and cold outreach. Even when a startup fits your thesis, it’s hard to access them because they’re already in high demand—and everyone else you’re seeing just isn’t exciting.

If you’re a service provider… you’re trying to get in front of high-growth startups, but you’re stuck sponsoring events that deliver nothing actionable. You get vanity metrics like email lists, but nothing quantifiable for your business growth.

👉 It’s broken. Too chaotic. And for most people in this ecosystem, it’s a lottery.

We’ve seen it over and over again: founders don’t know which investors to approach; investors can’t filter the noise to find aligned startups; service providers end up pouring money into partnerships that don’t convert.

Perhaps you can relate?

🚀 Over the last 3 years, we’ve helped hundreds of founders, investors, and service providers overcome this chaos:

✅ We’ve hosted more than 70 curated matchmaking events
✅ We’ve facilitated warm introductions—not cold intros, not random pitch lists
✅ We’ve made investors the ones selecting which startups they want to meet
✅ Our founders have raised millions of pounds through the trusted intros we created

And now…

👉 We’re putting it all together into one matchmaking platform.

A platform that leverages trust. A platform that removes the cold outreach lottery. A platform that scales warm introductions.

If you’re a founder → You’ll get 7 curated investor matches that align with your industry, stage, profile, and even your LinkedIn presence. Each match is backed by trust.

If you’re an investor → You’ll get only curated, relevant founders who match your thesis—no applications to sift through, no random decks to ignore.

If you’re a service provider → You’ll get access to a pipeline of pre-vetted startups, every 90 days, through a trusted ecosystem.

And it’s not just “who” you see—it’s how you connect: every connection is a warm introduction, facilitated by our Syrena AI.

We’re soft-launching this platform now, alongside our ongoing monthly events.

👉 We’re inviting quality founders ready to meet aligned investors, investors ready for warm, curated deal flow, and service provider partners who want to support this growing community.

DM me if you’re ready to stop the noise and start making real connections.

Here’s what early-stage investors actually see every week.

A typical investor might review:
 • 300+ startups a month
 • 40-60 decks a week
 • 10+ meetings per week

So when a founder thinks,
“They didn’t reply”
“They didn’t get it”
“They ghosted me”

It’s rarely about the business. It’s about volume.

The founders who get through aren’t louder. They’re easier to place.

Clear positioning beats clever storytelling, every time.

When you understand how investors triage opportunities, fundraising becomes a lot more predictable.

That’s the reality Syrena is built around.

We help founders show up with context and relevance before a meeting ever happens, so investors immediately understand why this company belongs on their desk.

When clarity is there from the start, conversations move faster and go further.

CityMunch

CityMunch is a two-sided marketplace looking to connect savvy consumers with eager restaurateurs. We are putting the power into their hands, helping restaurants fill their seats and customers fill their stomachs. 

For consumers, the mobile app allows anyone with time on their hands to explore London's food scene without breaking the bank. CityMunch offers free real-time discount vouchers across 250+ restaurants in London. 

For restaurants, a simple web-based platform helps fill spare tables during quiet periods.

As CMO of a new and fledgling company, all processes had to be started from scratch; immediately designing and implementing a full media and communications strategy that has continued to be the foundation of all their b2c communication. 

During my tenure, the user base increased by +48% and the daily covers (our key metric) rocketed 10x: from 5 on the day that I started to 52 on the day that I left. The average daily validations grew from 6 to 40. 

DAU (Daily Average Users) increased by +315.6%, Daily Engagement rose by +532%, Sessions Per User +18%, Daily Engagement Per User +52% 

My communications work led to CityMunch receiving a prominent specialist feature in the Daily Telegraph, as well as coverage in other major news outlets and online channels

Chief Marketing Officer

Freelance Journalism

In addition to reading for my degree, I currently write articles and submit them on a freelance basis to a number of publications including: BRIC - A high-end glossy political publication focusing on the emerging BRIC nations. Croco - An arts and lifestyle magazine originally based in Spain; I was approached by the editor to assist in targeting UK music artists and scenes in order to help them bridge the gap into a new market. DV8 - A sneaker-based fashion magazine based in London.

Freelance Journalist

The Tab

As editor of the music section for the Cambridge Tab I chase leads, find stories and commission writers to cover all aspects of the music scene in and around the University.

During my time as editor over the busy May Ball period I successfully negotiated exclusive coverage with the vast majority of Cambridge colleges for their headline act announcements - putting The Tab music way ahead of the pack of student papers in terms of hits, readership and content sharing. I am consistently within the Top 100 journalists Nationwide and often in the Top 20 / Top 10.

Music Editor

Futurecoins

As a new start-up, Future Coins needed a fast and powerful media strategy. I arranged for Joel Moss to be interviewed, along with our product, by: CNN, Al-Jazeera, The Telegraph, Time Out, Vice and a number of industry publications. Our social media presence grew in both quality and quantity, with targeted marketing through Facebook a great success when looking to reach out to tech savvy 20-somethings in the London area. As well as building awareness for our initial installation in London, I also put together a marketing plan based on bitcoin usage data against population and sought out other areas of the UK to install our units. I successful brokered the deal with the host of our unit in Brighton, which was the first in the city attracting attention from the BBC and local press.

The Guestlist Network

Producing articles for both online & a print run of 50k. I also interview artists (both written and on camera), as well as contributing to comedy sketch writing.

Journalist & Section editor

10 years ago I was working as a security guard. One day, sat behind my security desk, I overheard some students talking about their A-Level results and their big plans for the future. Acceptance to Oxbridge. A real future.

That day, I applied to an access course. That year, I worked my butt off. Full time employment and full time study. I received a 100% distinction rate - the only student in the country to do so -  and got into Cambridge University (#1 in the world rankings that year). 

While at Cambridge I was asked to write an article for a friend's Bitcoin ATM business. Then to run the marketing for music festival. These roles combined my love of copywriting with my love of data and I was bitten by the growth bug.

In the decade that followed I've worked with startups and scale-ups, primarily in B2B data, AI & Data Science. I've trained and retrained as a marketer, growth hacker, and product manager; cofounded two startups and successfully pitched & raised funds. 

I found I'm at my happiest when I'm solving problems and making things happen, so that's what I do every day.

Eliminate hours spent combing through disconnected data. BizCrunch provides insights like debt-to-asset ratios, estimated turnover and ownerships structures, right from the start. Freeing up your time to make contact, forge relationships and close deals.
