Robin Crow

Imperial College London

I'm interested in fintech, deep tech that I can understand, education, sustainability, and social impact. Typically at the concept, pre seed, and early stages.
For latter stage companies of merit, I would humbly refer you to more appropriate investors who are friends and acquaintances of mine.

Angel Investor

The Entrepreneurs Network

I was keen to upgrade my membership of TEN, and my only regret was not doing so earlier (due to health issues) Have since increased my involvement by attending in person events at Canary Wharf and The House of Lords. -Especially relating to diversity, entrepreneurship, partnerships, and environmental concerns.

Network Supporter

I was invited to join TEN by its founder Phillip, and was most impressed by his ability to distil complicated policy into simple actionable points.

Headline: 4 words to fix a systemic nightmare.

1. The Challenge
Vasily Alekseenko asked founders to pitch their startup in 4 words.
For most, this is a marketing exercise.
For me, it was a test of clarity against chaos.

2. The Pitch
"Automating discrimination claim precedents."

3. The Reality Behind the Words
Discrimination law—specifically the Vento scale—is designed to deliver justice **[1.3]**.
But for claimants, the process is often a "systemic failure" that destroys health and livelihoods **[3.1]**.

4. How We Fix It: The Universal Vento Extractor
We are taking the messy, qualitative reality of "injury to feelings" and turning it into navigable, quantitative data.

4.1 We ground every claim in the Equality Act 2010 **[1.1]**.
4.2 We automate the calculation of the 2025/26 Vento Bands **[2.0]**.
4.3 We target the "Upper Band" of systemic campaigns (£36k–£60k+) **[2.3]**.

5. The Mission
We are not just building "LegalTech."
We are turning the "Advocacy Tax" into legal leverage.
