Wilfred Fianko co-founded Cornerstone Partners, the UK's first angel investor network specifically focused on backing businesses owned and run by Black and diverse founders, and personally led a structured investor-readiness programme where he broke down capital raising into a practical playbook and stress-tested founders in live pitch environments with multiple external VCs. He brings a hybrid background spanning strategic consultancy at KPMG, investment banking at UBS and Goldman Sachs, and private banking at Lloyds, combined with a current board observer role at a leading LSE-listed private equity firm, positioning him as a venture investor who can speak fluently across consulting, banking, and PE stakeholder expectations when helping founders prepare for later-stage capital.
