She advises a number of health technology accelerators in the UK and Europe. She began her professional life in management in the NHS and subsequently spent many years studying and working internationally based in the US. Simon Thorpe welcomed her appointment, saying: “Most of my time as chair has been through the unanticipated challenges of a pandemic which has brought about interesting and, in some cases, enduring changes to our model. It has been a great honour to chair Cambridge Angels and I have thoroughly enjoyed doing so. “Pam has been a member of Cambridge Angels since 2017 and has been on the board since October 2018. She is a very active contributor to our group and to the board and is an active angel investor.” Thorpe is proud that the group continues to provide smart capital to exciting innovators – “from entrepreneurs to entrepreneurs.” He says the group adapted through the pandemic by assessing potential deals via technology such as Zoom – ensuring the steady flow of opportunities was not interrupted. He added: “Our focus is on DeepTech and HealthTech and the future is very much IP and data rich; in turn, these strengths represent the future hope for the UK economy.” Thorpe says the expertise Cambridge Angels entrepreneurs are able to pass on to teams that it backs is as significant as the capital injected. Part of the vision has always been to add value to enterprises who are successful in raising Angels’ capital. He adds that the group is not purely Cambridge-centric. “While the majority of businesses we support will be based in the Cluster we also push wider, into London and Manchester among other UK locations for example; also, we have members in California although we don’t ordinarily invest there.” Like many other prominent entrepreneurs Thorpe would – in an ideal world – like to see more Cambridge area entrepreneurs take their companies further under their own steam rather than selling too early. But he swiftly adds that this Cluster is better placed to deliver success than most across the UK. And he believes that the breadth and quality of Cambridge IP and innovation is actually increasing.
