Paul Hardingham
25+ YEARS ONLINE EXPERIENCE

A Calm, Practical Approach
To Modern Opportunities

My name is Paul Hardingham. I started my professional career as an electronics engineer before moving online over 25 years ago.

Since then, I’ve explored everything from online marketing and referral systems through to startup investing, AI opportunities and modern digital business models.

Today I’m CEO of VC Crowd, an angel investment club focused on early-stage opportunities and startup investing.

A Long-Term Perspective

One of the first businesses I introduced customers to back in 2001 eventually became a FTSE250 company with over a million customers — and still provides me with residual income today.

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea that ordinary people can build additional income streams and ownership over time rather than relying entirely on a single source of income.

Areas I’m Currently Exploring

AI & Automation

Exploring how artificial intelligence, automation and social media systems are changing the opportunities available to ordinary people online.

Startup Investing

Working with VC Crowd and evaluating early-stage businesses, ownership models and long-term investment opportunities.

Gold Recovery

Personally involved as a private shareholder in a British gold recovery project seeking to recover wartime gold cargoes from historic shipwrecks.
