Gregor Shaw
Investor | Business Growth Architect | Venture Capital Strategist | Startup Mentor | Sales & Leadership Expert
Gregor builds sales strategies that deliver £10M+ in new revenue, grow profits by 30–60%, and scale companies to seven and eight-figure exits.
Over the last 27 years, he’s cold-called his way from skint to £1M a year in commissions. Scaled teams from 13 to over 1,000. Raised over £1B in funding. Built and sold businesses for seven and eight figures. Made £20M. Lost it all. Earned it back—many times over. The hardest lessons weren’t about money; they were about trust.
Now he funds startups, builds sales teams that actually sell, and helps founders go from idea to income.
Need cash to get your own space? Want to scale, sell, or fix your sales team? That’s what he does.
No bullsh*t. Just results.
Working with Founders Who Mean Business
Driving Business Success
He left law school broke, took a commission-only cold-calling job, and borrowed £80 to survive his first month. No salary. Just a phone, a list, and 12-hour days. For six months, he failed—until he did exactly what he was told. Mirror everything. Word for word. Within a year, he was making £1M annually, closing 40% of deals by stating intent in 30 seconds. He sold 21% of Zurich’s global insurance product in a single year. Obsession, not scripts.
When Zurich left the UK, Gregor scaled his own company from 13 to 1,150 staff. He’s built, bought, funded, and sold businesses across financial services, childcare, SaaS, commercial property, and wine & spirits. Raised over £1B in funding for B2C companies. Closed a £62M deal. Made £140K in a month. Booked 52 appointments from 114 cold calls. Crashed a Lambo on the M6. Dropped £10K on a watch at lunch.
Now? He funds and backs startups, secures growth capital for scaling businesses, takes board seats, and still closes deals most people wouldn’t even know were on the table. He owns three yachts and splits his time between the Algarve, London, and South Africa. But the cars and homes aren’t the point.
“I chased excess in my 30s. Now I optimise for joy.”
Gregor trains founders and sales teams to close high-stakes deals with precision—not charm. And when he’s not closing deals himself, he’s funding the businesses that do. No fluff. No dickheads. Just clarity, obsession, and hard results that last.
