Mark Walker

London, United Kingdom

I launched restaurant brand ‘adobo Mexican’ in 2010 which I successfully grew and exited in 2018, then became an advisor at Nova & Koa, an innovative online women’s handbag start-up; recently I completed an MSc in Entrepreneurship at UCL (First) whilst working with Tokenise, a pre-launch FinTech start-up on several launch-critical projects. I am currently looking to help founders of early-stage start-ups with their planning and growth strategies.

What I offer

Pre-launch / Start-up Growth Planning and Strategies

I am a serial entrepreneur with over 13 years of experience in launching and advising early-stage start-ups – I feed off and enjoy the energy, excitement and dynamism this generates and am looking to assist new founders with the launch or early growth phase of their start-up.
