Magic Sauce Online

Magic Sauce has a vision of becoming the central hub for startups and investors globally.

We recognised a lack of diversity and trust in the startup process between investors and founders and we're seeking to redress it by educating both on what can help them build better strategies.

We aim to bring them together along with the companies that support the tech ecosystem to provide a community that will allow the free exchange of ideas and information to improve the quality of startups and deal flow at both ends.

We'll also be helping startups at the ideation stage of their journey by providing them with tried, trusted (and most importantly) FREE templates and guidance to help them get test their assumptions and get an all important proof of concept.

Co-Founder

Diversity-X

I'm helping spearhead an education programme for founders including resources and an accelerator for Diversity-X based around the modular education within the Magic Sauce Online programme.  Diversity-X is the home of underestimated founders and on a common mission with Magic Sauce to elevate the visibility, ability and delivery of funding to those founders.  

If you'd like to invest in Diversity-X's first fund, get in touch (capital at risk...well it's startup investment, of course it's risky).

With headline support and sponsorship from the likes of Barclays, Hubspot, Google Cloud and more, we plan to identify and rapidly scale digital businesses in the East of England, as well as the broader UK via our virtual acceleration model.
