This intimate session will offer attendees a rare glimpse into the mindset that has positioned Chris as one of the most prolific investors in the fintech sector. Having kickstarted his entrepreneurial journey with a decade-long tenure at GE Capital, Chris co-founded a specialty finance company that quickly ascended to become one of the UK’s fastest-growing businesses.

His transition from entrepreneur to angel investor saw him leading the Techstars Fintech Accelerator, making first cheque investments in trailblazing companies like Everledger, Cuvva, and Monese, among others.

His portfolio boasts over 180 investments, including standout names like Marshmallow, Atom Bank, and Kuda Bank.
