How the investment space has changed post-pandemic & how you can benefit with Kristina Pereckaite

This week's guest is Investment expert and a woman at the epicentre of the Brighton entrepreneurial scene Kristina Pereckaite. Kristina has a long history of helping founders achieve their dreams. She previously managed Brighton’s largest entrepreneur Accelerator and held the position of Entrepreneurship Director at coworking space PLATF9RM.

In August 2020 she turned her attention to increasing early-stage startup investment activity in the South East - and her latest venture South East Angels was born. 

The community brings together local active angel investors and - recently exited founders who are keen on investing -  to form a knowledgeable and engaged investment network. The aim? To create the perfect forum for ambitious founders to get connected, raise funding, and access expertise to take their business to the next level.

In this episode Kristina and Coni discuss:

• Kristina’s journey so far and her top tips for raising funds
• Diversity in the start-up and angel investing space
• The impact the pandemic has had on the way we fundraise and why you don’t need to live in a big city to be a successful founder! 

We hope you enjoy.
