This week, Baltic Ventures hosted The Accelerator 2024 an inspiring gathering of entrepreneurs, mentors, and investors at Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle. Among the key speakers was Edge’s Senior Investment Manager, Hannah Williamson, who shared insights during an “Ask Me Anything” panel session on fundraising like a pro.

Hannah spoke about supporting high-potential startups, particularly those from diverse backgrounds. During her panel discussion, she addressed the importance of breaking down traditional investment barriers, emphasising that backing a wider range of founders brings new perspectives and fuels more innovative solutions.

The event programme also featured startup showcases where founders presented pitches tackling critical challenges through technology. Networking sessions provided a valuable platform for meaningful conversations between founders, investors, and mentors. For Edge, the event reaffirmed its commitment to supporting early-stage ventures that combine innovative technology with social impact.The day ended with an alumni panel where previous accelerator participants shared their successes.
