2019 UKBAA Angel Investment Awards Best High Growth Woman Founder recipient Melinda Nicci reflects on the impact of her win
Baby2Body CEO and Founder Melinda Nicci was the joint winner of the Best High Growth Woman Founder award at the 2019 UKBAA Angel Investment Awards.
Nearly two years on from her win, Melinda spoke to us to reflect on the impact receiving the award has had.
“It’s given us amazing credibility. It gave a big boost to the team as well, just having that recognition by the industry has definitely lifted everyone’s spirits,” Melinda comments. “It’s just really given me that boost and knowing that I’m carrying this flag for the UK and for the angel investors, and then also for my team. It’s given us something a little bit more to fight for.”
With nominations for this year’s awards, taking place on 8th June, open now, Melinda explained why she believes people in our ecosystem should submit a nomination.
“I think you should definitely take up the opportunity and nominate someone or nominate yourself, for lots of different reasons. I think it gives you a platform which we’ve used. We’ve used this platform to expand our thought leadership program to expand our outreach for talent, we’ve attracted new talent and we’ve also attracted new investment.”
