About Gregor Shaw
Gregor Shaw is a seasoned investor, capital raiser, and business growth architect with a track record that speaks for itself—though he’s often the first to be self-deprecating about it. From his early days in commission-only sales in Scotland to consistently earning over £1 million a year as a formidable deal-maker, Gregor’s career has been defined by relentless drive, precision, and integrity.
Having spent over 25 years in London’s financial sector, Gregor made his mark in pensions, life insurance, structured finance, and boutique venture capital before expanding his reach globally. Today, he operates across multiple industries, including financial services, consumer products, commercial property, technology, AI, and childcare, taking an active role in shaping the strategic direction of the businesses he supports.
If you have a business and need to raise £2–£3 million, Gregor is your man. He helps early-stage startups secure vital funding (£250K–£1M+), ensuring they are investor-ready and structured for long-term scalability. His expertise lies in capital strategy, revenue optimisation, and building investable businesses that align investor incentives with sustainable growth.
Beyond raising capital, Gregor works closely with founders on structuring, scaling, and sales strategy. He has built and scaled sales teams into the hundreds, negotiated strategic partnerships with major industry players, and structured complex financial opportunities for both high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors. His ability to guide businesses through funding rounds, investor relations, and exit strategies has made him a trusted advisor, board member, and mentor.
