Angel Investor: How to Win Pitches, Invest Smart & Trust Your Gut - Helen Chorley | Ep 30

My guest for this episode is Helen Chorley. Helen is not just your typical angel investor. Known and loved as the friendly “Dragon” in the world of property investment, she frequently graces our TV screens in shows like Property Elevator, Property Graduate and Venture Visionaries.
Helen is an intriguing mix of sharp thinker, industry disrupter & spiritual adventurer. From British ballet champion to investment banker and burnout recoveree, her journey is as diverse as it is inspiring.

Whether she's dissecting pitches on TV or at live events, Helen's keen eye for impactful presentations and how to harness the power of effective communication makes her a sought after advisor and Non Exec Director. I’m thrilled to have her on the show to share her expertise and her fascinating story.
