AI made intelligence "cheap".
Energy is the new intelligence.
Anyone can now rent the smartest brain in the world for $20 a month.
So being smart is no longer the edge.
The edge is the energy to decide, to focus, to lead, and to keep going.
Energy wins.
Most leaders I meet are running on energy debt.
Late nights. One more coffee. One more AI tool to learn.
The bill always comes.
Your energy is your runway.
Manage it like capital, and you'll go further than people smarter than you.
Let the machine think. You bring the energy.

Why me?
I built Wild.AI to make it cool to be a woman.
I sold it to NYSE:ZEPP to get our science into the hands of millions.
I've seen the tough, the ugly and, yes, the beauty of building a startup.
Would I do it all over again? Ah. I would.
I've always been coached. As an athlete. As a leader.
Now I bring that to founders and leadership teams.

How we can work together
→ Keynotes: Energy Wins: How to Lead When AI Does the Thinking.
Yes, I charge. And it'll be the best part of your event.
→ AI for leadership teams: "Should I fire my team, or upskill them with AI?" Maybe a bit of both. I help you and your team become AI-native, so your company becomes impossible to ignore.
→ 1:1 founder coaching: copilot to CEOs. Build. Raise. Exit. With a few fewer hurdles. It's hard enough.

Where you've seen me
I've spoken at MIT, Stanford, Oxford, INSEAD and Nova, and at companies from Google to Strava.
UK Government AI Advisor. Board Member.
I asked President Macron the tough questions, so we don't wake up in 2030 with an AI that has no female data.
I've interviewed The North Face CEO, Olympians, Dr. Stacy Sims and the author of Invisible Women.

Project lead "Women in Tech"

Science and Technology
I helped Baroness Martha Lane Fox (founder Lastminute.com), leading her project "Women in Tech" to get more women into Tech.
Her broader mission is to make the UK a brilliant place to build tech.
I was made redundant. Who knows if there would be more women in tech if I hadn't? 😂

How and when to approach an angel investor

As the needs of startups change and funding options evolve, platforms are emerging that combine elements of different funding models.

As the needs of startups change and funding options evolve, platforms are emerging that combine elements of different funding models. Founder Helene Guillaume is a Virgin StartUp mentor and founder of Millenials Partners – here she shares her strategy for how (and when) to approach an angel investor.
“One of the most common questions I hear is ‘How to get funding?’ obviously; more specifically, ‘How to access angel investors, and how early should I contact them?’” says Helene. “To this common question, I would say the best way to get funding from an angel investor is to follow a good preparation path.”
Define yourself
“First define properly your startup, the sector you’re in, and who could potentially be interested in this sector,” advises Helene. “For example a fintech startup would naturally get you thinking about approaching investors from a financial background, but if it’s a phone payment system it could equally interest restaurant chains and other consumer-facing businesses.”
Think laterally about the possibilities that your product offers, and what industries it could be used in beyond the immediately obvious. Defining your product and where it stands will also ensure that when it comes to approach an investor you have a really strong sense of what you’re offering, why it’s important, and where it fits.
Define investor personas
“Now you’ve defined your own offering, define ‘personas’ – the profiles of typical investors that would be interested in your sector, team and profile,” says Helene. “KNOW your investor. If you know what they like and understand, you’ll be more likely to approach them with an idea that’s relevant and which they can feel passionate about.”

Like the famous words spoken to Tom Cruise in the film Jerry Maguire, “Show me the money!” is a phrase we are all familiar with. Startups want to know how to raise funding, what are the sources, how much equity do they have to give away, and what should they be looking for in their investors beyond hard cash.
Statistics reveal that 90% of startups close down in the 1st year alone due to the lack of funding. This triggers a constant battle to stay afloat and generate income for oneself. With advancement of the net and various public & private initiatives, there are actually quite a few ways Startups can raise that crucial funding to get off the ground. TechMeetups is bringing you a workshop to cover various ways that you as a Startup can raise that important initial funding to get your business off the ground. -
