Jon Prideaux led payments fintech company Boku to significant growth, culminating in a successful IPO. The company now trades on the London Stock Exchange with a market capitalization of over £500M.

Like all entrepreneurial success stories, Boku's path had many challenges. At our recent Angel Investor Summit, Jon shared his journey, highlighting the pivotal role angel investors played in the company's rise.

Fantastic session today with local #founders in #Brighton covering top tips for building and most importantly *closing* your pre-seed/seed round 🚀

Great to have South East Angels and SeedLegals team up on this to help  founders succeed at early stage fundraising. 

Thanks to Anthony Rose, Kristina Pereckaite Meera Mawkin Jonny Seaman, for their input, and Projects for hosting 🙂

💸 3 things we learned at the Angel Investor Summit

1. Your network is immensely valuable as an angel, from where you source your deal flow, to who you invest with, and how you can support your portfolio companies.

2. Angel Investment is the most undocumented asset class, we need to collate more data to understand how to become more successful. 

3. Build a portfolio. Have a thesis. This was the most common advice from our experienced angel speakers!
 
Then there was all the stuff about investing in Space, AI, and Quantum 👀😮🚀 but you had to be there...

You can apply to attend next year's via the Angel Investor Summit website.

A real privilege to have Anthony Rose, founder of SeedLegals, visit us in Brighton to share his story and insights on fundraising with local founders. 

We talked about:

- Raising vs. closing a round and practical tips on getting the deal done
- Agile fundraising: the new way founders are closing their rounds 
- Different techniques for approaching investors

A big thank you to the SeedLegals team for helping us put the event together Jonny Seaman & Meera Mawkin and to our team Jake Fox for hosting another valuable event.
