The FIG Team

James King

James has worked at KPMG, a variety of events companies and at Nestoria.co.uk as a Business Analyst – working with some of the Internet industries most influential professionals. Having studied at both Imperial and Leeds University, he was the recipient of a scholarship to Leeds University in the first ever entrepreneurial Scholarship Programme. Whilst still a full time student he raised over £150,000 for an idea he had for a new business. He knows what it is like for students to find investors and develop new businesses. 

James came up with the FIG concept after raising finance for his latest business.
It was clear to him that students needed an easier route to finding investment and even more importantly, finding the right investors to help their businesses grow.
