A couple of notes
Pre-revenue projects, and failed or dormant deals are omitted. There were a few – it’s a risky business!
I’ve not put firm names up as otherwise founders get lots of unsolicited requests for references. However, if you want more detail, just ask me. I’m happy to give the good, the bad, and the ugly.
