About Paul Soanes
I'm a serial entrepreneur and start-up investor. I co-founded iD (www.idagency.com) in 1994, one of the UK's first experiential marketing agencies. iD is now a multi-award winning agency whose enduring success has been driven by it's ability to continually innovate and lead experiential communications in the UK. We built another business alongside iD called Agile Retail (www.agileretail.com) which specialises in helping brands launch and manage retail propositions. We have offices in the UK and US. In 2003, I co-founded Brandspace which revolutionised the way brands accessed & bought experiential and pop-up retail in major destinations such as airports and malls. We sold Brandspace to a private equity backed group just 5 years later delivering a significant return for shareholders. In 2014, I co-founded Worth Capital, home of The Start-Up Series Fund. The Fund has invested in some of the UK's most promising young businesses. I sit on the board of directors for a number of our portfolio companies, sharing my years of battle scars and helping to accelerate growth.
