Startup Funding Club holds its June Pitching event with special guest Paddy Ashdown Events

Startup Funding Club invites politician Paddy Ashdown to speak at its June Pitching & Networking event at Home House.

London, UK, June 2017 – Startup Funding Club (SFC), named Lead Angel Syndicate of the Year at UKBAA’s latest Angel Investment Awards, celebrated its latest Pitching and Networking event last Monday 19th June. The occasion, held at Mayfair’s Home House and sponsored by Withers Worldwide and SFC Bennett Brooks, showcased some of the latest early-stage companies SFC has worked with.

Stephen Page, Startup Funding Club’s CEO, welcomed attendees and acquainted them to his firm and its role within the UK startup scene. Following this he handed over to the special guests of the evening, Paddy Ashdown and Bess Mayhew. The latter introduced the crowd of investors to their project More United, of which she is the CEO. The political startup supports candidates regardless of party association and uses crowdfunding to support political candidates who stand by their values. Then, Ashdown, politician and former Lid Dem leader, addressed some of the issues that have arisen since last year’s vote for Brexit and the General Election earlier this month.

Following Ashdown’s words, Startup Funding Club proceeded to introduce the startups pitching:
