SeedLegals interview Keepabl's Founder

Digging into our backstory, funding, coronavirus & more!

SeedLegals needs no introduction! They’re the UK’s #1 closer of funding rounds, helping with investment, EIS/SEIS, EMI options and more. A growth SaaS business themselves, supported by leading investors, Seedlegals have transformed startup funding – in just three years they now help more UK companies raise investment than anyone else.

Our Founder, Robert Baugh, was recently interviewed by SeedLegals for their excellent Entrepreneur Edition of their Founders Stories video series.
