Hi everyone. Would anyone be able to recommend any good recruiters that specialise (or at least also focus on in addition to perm roles) in interim/temporary work? I’m speaking to a couple that I’ve been introduced to but wanting to set a few more going.

Rather selfishly it’s for me!

Not selfish at all! It might be helpful for others in a similar boat too – so all helpful knowledge

I’m looking forward to the launch of this year’s MassChallenge UK accelerator programme—bringing together an incredible group of early-stage startups solving challenges across AI & autonomy, health, climate and more.
If you’re curious about the programme, interested in mentorship, or just want to connect with some inspiring founders, you’re very welcome to join us:
📅 Thursday 26 June, 6pm onwards
📍 Royal Docks Centre for Sustainability, University of East London
👉 Register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1345017737259
It’s a great opportunity to get a feel for the community, meet the MassChallenge team, and hear directly from the 2025 cohort.
Hope to see a few of you there!

Hi everyone 👋 I’m Estera — a finance transformation lead turned independent advisor, and founder of Which Way Financials.
I work with growing businesses and charities who want more from their finance function than just a tidy close or a monthly report.
My model blends recurring support (bookkeeping + financial insight) with project-based advisory for those who are scaling, fundraising, or navigating change.
I’ve worked across FP&A, systems, reporting, and R2R — but now I’m building a flexible practice that gives clients clarity and strategy, without the overhead.
I’m here to connect with others on the same path — especially those shifting from delivery into commercial influence. Let’s chat!

Lovely to have you, Estera!
As a new member of the community I’d definitely suggest coming along to our Community Welcome call – this 30 minute Zoom session runs through most of what we have to offer, so you can figure out the best use of your time with us: https://portfolio-collective.com/events/getting-started-with-tpc/
Looking forward to seeing you around!

Nelly Ward posted in the group The Wine Group
Hello to all of you beautiful wine lovers!
I’m finally getting around to explore this wonderful platform. Great to see that you actually meet up in real life (which is the most important part for the wine part). Let me briefly introduce myself. I am a passionate soul who jumped off the corporate life of private banking and joined the wine trade. I’ve been organising private and corporate wine tastings for 3 years now and also launching my wine travel business. It would be great o get to know you all. If you are around on Tuesday, 24th of June, please join me for a Wine Roulette – a wine tasting in a totally fun format.
Here is the link for more details and tickets:

Hope to see you at an event soon

Hi Nelly, I like your projects. I am also from Belarus and into wines (as a hobby). I organised one wine tasting evening for TPC, we have a second one planned – date TBC. It is a social event with an extra. Would be great to have you.
-
Great to e-meet you, Alina. Sure, I’ll keep an eye for the next one. I also have a couple of tickets left for tomorrow, would be great to have you there!

Angel Investing: Confusing or Exciting?
We’re planning a TPC webinar on Angel Investing, and we want to ensure it addresses your questions. Angel investing can be exciting, but also confusing.
We’d love to hear directly from our members who are angel investors, or have thought about it:
– What aspects of angel investing do you find most confusing or intimidating? (e.g., legal terms, SEIS/EIS, tax implications, risks?)
– Have you invested as an angel before? If yes, what motivated you to take the leap, and what was your experience like?
– If not, what held you back? Were there specific barriers, knowledge gaps, or concerns that stopped you?
Please share your thoughts, questions, and experiences in the comments below 👇

Happy to participate / help where I can if agendas allow. There’s the added dimension that it be quite different doing so in the UK, US and Europe as tax treatment, regulation and reporting from companies vary quite a bit.
-
Love to seeing a lot of changes in how this is working and happy to share also keen to hear more about tokenisation

As a female founder and investor I’ve experienced angel investing from both sides of the table. Getting the relationship right is just as important as the money, creating value for all parties. As an investor you get to meet some really interesting founders and explore businesses and sectors beyond your usual scope. Financial returns will take a long time (if ever) but the learning, networking and growth opportunities are also super valuable. I’m happy to share my experience.
-
Happy to contribute and share as well. I find UK/US/Europe tax treatments and implications quite challenging (being American living in the UK) as well developing a solid framework to ensure a robust due diligence process
-
Happy to be of any help on funding or investing side as have done a lot myself – my biggest tip is spread over a wide area every rather than just a couple as no one is a certainty in angel investing
-
I can add color in terms of how to get started … and what has worked for me, ie. Outreaches and networks, investment sector focus, my personal DD, long-term process of fund commitment and results. There is definitely confusion of terms offered ie. equity vs convertible notes.
-
Thanks for all of your input so far – it has really helped. We have now scheduled what should be an insightful webinar on Angel Investing, with Jonny Seaman, next Wednesday (2 July). Jonny recently left Seedlegals and has a lot of experience in this space.
