"Thank you for the fabulous event in London. Getting an offer of £2M+ of new investment was a nice appetizer."
"A big Thank You for a great dinner last week. I really enjoyed the conversation topics, particularly the topic around how VCs and angels might work better together – I think there is a big opportunity there, and it’s refreshing to hear from most people around the table that it generally goes quite well."
"An excellent evening with a great atmosphere and a good opportunity to make a number of useful new contacts. Thank you."
"Thank you for organising the event. It was a very stimulating occasion, the location fascinating and the food excellent. I was honoured to be invited."
"I was very impressed with the quality of the event and the turnout you achieved. All in all, one of the best networking dinners I've attended in a very long time!"
"Thank you for a terrific dinner - enjoyable, stimulating and contact-making - what more can you ask?"
"A great cast and setting, good contacts made or renewed and lots of fun. "
“Thank you for a most enjoyable evening in such delightful surroundings. Fine wine and food and certainly excellent company. It was a very interesting mix of people making for an extremely fine evening.”
