We’re grateful for Andrew’s continued support as an investor in both of our recent funding rounds.

A couple of notes:

  1. Pipeline projects, and failed/dormant deals are omitted.  There were a handful – it’s a risky business!
  2. I’ve not put firm names up, as founders get lots of unsolicited requests for references.  If you want more details, just ask.  I’m happy to give the good, the bad, and the ugly.
  3. My investments normally include sweat, and some also include cash. I’m not the kind of investor who dumps 500K into a business, then emails in 3 years to see how it’s going.  If hands-on value-building isn’t your bag, look elsewhere. (NB Some people don’t regard sweat as ‘proper’ investment – but as it’s 100% risk-bearing, I think ‘investment’ is the only reasonable way to describe it.)
  4. For investments in the fundraising process itself, I invest cash in the production and marketing process – with my investment return conditional on raising.  Normally, I’ll look to make investments directly into the firms, too – but this is not always possible, for tax reasons.
