Sherry Coutu CBE is a Canadian-born angel investor and serial entrepreneur based in Cambridge, UK (not London), who transitioned to investing after founding Interactive Investor International in 1995, which later sold to AMP for over $1 billion[1][2][8]. As an angel investor, she focuses on early-stage companies, often pre-revenue or at prototype stage, with a thesis centered on consumer internet, information services, and education[8][9]. She has invested personal funds in more than 60 to 70 tech start-ups and five venture capital firms, typically acting as a supportive angel rather than a formal lead, though specific check sizes are not publicly disclosed[1][3][8]. Notable portfolio companies include LinkedIn, Zoopla, Lovefilm, and New Energy Finance[1][6][12]. Coutu is known for her distinctive focus on bridging the UK’s entrepreneurial and numerical skills gaps through initiatives like Founders4Schools and Maths4Girls, and she has been recognized by Wired as one of the top 25 most influential people in the wired world and by TechCrunch as Europe’s best CEO mentor[1][8].
