Director
Katie brings investor and network leadership experience from roles at Gateway Angels, Startup Grind, and the LCR Angel Network. She previously held board and committee positions with the Isle of Man Department for Enterprise and Fund Her North.
The LCR Angel Network backed two regional start-ups following a pitch event supported by the British Business Bank.
"The LCR Angel Network has helped us get one step closer to our vision of building purpose-driven brands through their fantastic pitch event connecting us with the right investors."
The oversubscribed round was backed by thirty new angel investors alongside partners NorthInvest and the LCR Angel Network.
"NorthInvest are proud to have supported another tech for good business in their growth plans. Heatio’s technology will help consumers to save energy and cement the North as a hub for net positive innovation."
The Liverpool-based personal safety application has raised a seven-figure sum from a syndicate of angel investors.
"We’re incredibly delighted to have secured funding through the LCR Angel Network. Not only does this reaffirm what we’ve been working towards for the past 6 years with the faith shown in the team and the Busby platform by such discerning investors but it also allows us a step closer to achieving our dream of improving personal safety for users around the world"
