I have spent the last 35 years in the investment industry. I set-up and ran 2 tech related hedge funds. Apart from my economics degree, I also attained a post graduate diploma in computer science. In 2009 I joined a $1bn family office and became the CIO and chaired the investment committee. I advise early stage companies on strategy, scale-up and capital raising strategies. I also run an esports venture fund.
What I offer
Strategy, scale up and vision advice. Capital raising journey. Mentor
I am able to use my experience of investing in the venture space to help companies and founders grow their businesses and optimise the capital market opportunity. Capital raising is a journey not a single event to aim for. Planning the capital requirements and working capital is key.
