SEVEN FEET APART is a UK footwear brand. We founded the company in 2017 with the purpose of making shoes that are beautiful and perform brilliantly and deliver an experience of a footwear brand that is better; fairer, kinder and sustainable. The shoes – known as Sevens – are designed in St.Albans, UK. Made from the finest materials – inside and out – they are handcrafted in family-run workshops in Portugal. Each pair is engineered to deliver the ultimate in style, quality and comfort. We dedicate 7% of our resources to local community projects and preserve endangered biodiverse environments.

The Chapar - the personal styling and shopping consultancy. The Chapar is a disruptive menswear retail concept intended to reach the male consumer who is cash rich and time poor. We provide him with the best brands, hand selected by personal stylists, when and where he wants it. This concept is positioned in the upper premium bracket and will change the way men shop.

TheAngel is rebuilding early-stage fundraising from the ground up. In a market where investment has fallen sharply and fewer founders than ever are able to secure capital, the traditional fundraising system is no longer fit for purpose. Thousands of exceptional startups struggle, not because their ideas lack potential, but because access to early capital remains slow, manual, and gatekept. We are changing that. TheAngel is a next-generation angel investment marketplace powered by regulated tokenisation. We convert startup equity into compliant digital tokens through a structured SPV, enabling founders to raise faster while giving investors the liquidity, transparency, and flexibility that angel investing has never offered before. Our platform removes friction from every stage of the fundraising journey. ✔️ Founders gain a global investor base, instant compliance infrastructure, and a listing designed to convert. ✔️ Investors gain verified opportunities, real-time visibility, and optional liquidity events usually unavailable at pre-seed. ✔️ Both sides benefit from a more open, efficient, technology-driven ecosystem. Our mission is simple: Bridge the gap between founders and capital using technology, transparency, and modern financial infrastructure. We believe the next generation of iconic companies should not be limited by outdated fundraising models. By combining smart contracts, investor matching, and world-class structuring partners, we’re making early-stage investment more accessible, more dynamic, and more aligned with how today’s founders actually build. TheAngel exists for the entrepreneurs who move fast, the investors who think differently, and the ecosystem that needs a more equitable and efficient path to innovation. Tokenised equity. A global network. Real liquidity potential. This is what the future of early-stage fundraising looks like, and we’re building it now.
