Summer Newsletter: Client News and Investment Opportunities

As we approach the traditional summer break, we’re delighted to update with client news about a funding success, tripling revenues and winning awards.

We also present some ‘recommended summer reading’ to you with a link to investment opportunities with our founder clients in the Consumer, Climate, Property, Technology & Data and Health & Life Sciences sectors.

Summer is the perfect time to recharge, as well as have those conversations that don’t fit neatly into a normal calendar slot.

Whether it’s a founder connecting with a potential partner, or an investor having a deeper strategic conversation with the CEO of a potential investment opportunity, the summer period can also create space for relationship-building that often drives the most meaningful outcomes.

We hope you have a great summer – all the PACP Partners look forward to continuing to support our founder and investor communities in the months ahead, including launching our Autumn Masterclass Workshops and ongoing Investment Opportunities Pitch Events.

Persi: How Brilliance, Resilience and Defiance of Founder Secured Funding

Congratulations  to our client, Olivia Parkes, Founder and CEO of Persi, who recently closed funding of £660k, after oversubscribing twice, having secured Haatch and a number of retail and tech industry angels as investors in this round.

Persi is a B2B SaaS solution which unlocks the next frontier of personalisation and product discovery based on what customers already own, not just what they’ve bought from a single retailer.

PACP Partner and experienced retailer Sharon O’Connor has been working closely with Olivia for some time, facilitating strategic thinking on the business and participating in customer trials.

Sharon continues to support Olivia with future plans with her ongoing journey, including pilot partnerships with select retailers for launch later this year, and preparation for future funding rounds further down the line.

Support will also include introductions to retailers through PACP’s extensive retail network, curated by our experienced specialist partners who are all industry veterans with significant connections in this sector.

Asan: Triples Revenue & Named a Top 100 UK StartUp

Congratulations to our client, Ira Guha, Founder & CEO of Asan, whose venture has more than tripled revenue in the past year.

Asan patented an innovative menstrual cup at Harvard and is ending period poverty for underserved women and girls globally.

Asan was recently named a Top 100 UK Startup and has also been awarded the Innovate UK Unlocking Potential Award and the Cartier Women’s Initiative Award for female entrepreneurs.

Founder, Ira, works closely with PACP Partner Sharon O’Connor to grow her business by securing B2B partnerships with factories and employers of women globally. In November 2023, Asan closed a £615k seed round from impact investors, including an angel investor from the PACP FemTech network.
