Claire Lewis has stepped down as CEO of Baltic Ventures.
Lewis co-founded the Liverpool-based pre-seed tech accelerator five years ago with Carl Wong.
It has evolved from a not-for-profit – launched with the backing of a £4m investment from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority – into an angel syndicate and tech accelerator with a portfolio of 30 companies and eight-figure follow-on investments. It has supported more than 200 founders to date.
Lewis, the former head of Tech North, said on LinkedIn that she is “ready for a change of rhythm… to take some time to rest and reset and to dedicate energy and focus to other areas and projects that I’m passionate about”.
