I’m Shosh, Founding Partner and MD at Thim Ventures. Over the past decade, I’ve worked on £1bn+ in capital raised. I’ve been on all sides of the fundraising table — Head of an Angel Syndicate, VC Investor, Startup Operator, and Investment Banker. Today, I help our investor network make strategic angel investments, train new angels to create impact, and help founders secure high-quality connections, with value-adding capital. 🌟 My Journey: I’ve worked across Europe’s most challenging capital raises (£100M+) and served in Citi’s Chief of Staff Office, overseeing 1,300+ employees with a multi-billion-pound turnover. Formerly, as a VC Investor at Old College Capital, I worked across £50M fund with portfolio of 85+ companies. As a startup operator, I successfully fundraised from angels and VCs, experiencing firsthand the hurdles entrepreneurs face in securing the right funding. This experience highlighted a critical gap: founders struggling to connect with high-quality strategic angel investors and lacking the right tools needed to succeed. Honestly, it’s a lost opportunity for both founders and investors. 🔑 What I manage: 1️⃣ Thim Ventures Thim Ventures (formerly FirstMondayVC) operates as a private investor club that connects angels, HNW individuals, and family offices with early-stage UK tech companies. With over £2M deployed, we offer a collaborative, educational, and social approach to angel investing. Recently, expanded to include growth-stage Indian companies. 2️⃣ Thim Advisors At Thim Advisors, we identified a shortage of bespoke advisory support from professionals who have been investors, made investment decisions across IC’s, in addition to fundraising as operators. Drawing on our lived experience, we help founders save time, improve funding outcomes, and secure the right funding partner. 3️⃣ Angel Investor Meetups (‘AIM') I host AIM, bringing together Angels from different communities to make more meaningful connections, network and share deal-flow in a casual setting. The registration list brings together 200+ angels, VCs, and family offices who have collectively made 300+ angel investments. 🎯 Results: 💷 £2M angel investment deployed 💰 £30M+ VC investment raised by founders 🎤 Support for 350+ founders across their pitches 📈 £1bn+ raised across Pre-seed to Exit 🤝 45+ angel investors engaged and trained My work has been featured in Forbes, UK Tech News, Sky, and the Evening Standard. I’ve also been invited as a keynote speaker / panel judge by UK Government, Startup Grind, Dunnhumby, WeWork and Foras.
