Background

About Karl Murray

Helping entrepreneurs thrive is at the heart of what I do. As a Specialist Adviser at UMi, I work with startups and SMEs across the North East of England, helping them navigate the complexities of funding. From tailored funding readiness programmes to the Northern Investor Hub, I specialise in connecting ambitious companies with the right investors to drive their growth. Beyond my role, I’m the co-founder of Silicon Mingle, a lively meet-up that brings together founders, investors, and allies within the local tech startup community. My career has spanned supporting innovative companies, running tech startups, and fostering collaborative communities—all driven by a passion for tech and entrepreneurship. Whether it’s navigating funding, scaling innovation, or sparking meaningful connections, I’m here to help founders succeed.(And if you’re still reading—stay awesome 🤘) Views are my own.
