Emma is a corporate lawyer with a sharp focus on venture capital. At SeedLegals, she’s guided companies from pre-seed to Series B, turning fundraising from a headache into a milestone. Known for her blend of deep expertise and straight-talking advice, Emma is passionate about legal tech, AI and championing female-founded startups. She loves helping innovative businesses cut through the complexity of fundraising and scale with confidence.
Since joining SeedLegals, Emma B has advised on standout deals including an $8 million Series A funding for Just Move In (led by Eos Ventures), Definely‘s $7 million Series A funding led by Octopus Ventures (and with participation from Cornerstone VC and Zrosk Investments) and Ovum’s investment from Morgan Stanley’s in-house accelerator, the Inclusive Ventures Lab.
Her experience also spans advising on strategic investments, such as Definely’s funding from Raine Ventures – the venture arm of US investment firm, The Raine Group – and guiding early-stage companies like xWatts through its $1.8m pre-seed round backed by top VC firms and angels, like Antler, Cambridge Enterprise, Parkwalk Advisors, R42 Group, and Cambridge Angels.
