I make Pre-Seed to Series B founders successfully fundraise by helping you build your fundraising operating system. | $350m+ raised with founders. | Follow me for tips on fundraising.

I have spent the last 10 years trying to find the "secret" sauce to making you fundraise for your company.

And you know what?

There's no secret. 

It’s just a matter of having: 

- The right preparation & processes
- A clear and concise narrative & storytelling
- Structured relationships built over a long period 

The real "secret", if there's any at all, is that you need to build a system around your fundraise to make sure you do the proper work.

A system means that allows you to: 

- Efficiently build the right relationships with investors and connectors
- Influence investors that YOU are a good bet
- Take them through your process in an efficient manner 

All the while keeping accountability of you doing the boring but important stuff.

During the $400m+ in venture funding I have been a part of, I was able to meet best-in-class  entrepreneurs. 

Some of these entrepreneurs have gone on to raise $100M+ in fundraising each. ​

All of them possessed operating systems for the fundraises. 

I’ve built such a system for fundraising founders. 

And I can help you build yours. 

But as with all things, getting started, maintaining consistency and keeping accountability is easier said than done.

The founders I have helped with their fundraises have gone on to raise $250M+. 

...And I'm doing all of this with a 100% MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE.

Now, are you serious about building fundraising for your startup? 

Let's make it happen.

(I CAN'T HELP YOU IF YOU HAVE ALREADY STARTED YOUR FUNDRAISE).

I'll see you at the top!

I identified a gap in the market, researched it, planned and refined a solution, set the company up, raised seed funding and managed the development of the MVP which is currently in BETA testing. 

I designed the website, set up social media, wrote a funding bid, planned financial forecasts, and am currently developing a marketing strategy and materials. 
During this journey, I have built a strong network of advisors and support agencies across the North East.

***********************************
I have always had two passions in life: food and technology. I got into food as a young boy and progressed into a professional catering career, becoming a qualified chef who has: knowledge of all sections of the kitchen and professional food service, recipe development, menu planning and budgeting, managed teams of chefs, delivered high quality, high volume food standards, and enjoyed achieving awards including Restaurant of the Year 3 years running.

I then went on to study food science and nutrition and started my own consultancy in 2006. As a Registered Nutritionist (ANutr), my expertise includes: allergen legislation and labelling, food safety inspections, menu design, recipe/product development, special diets, food hygiene ratings, food safety management systems and nutritional consulting. I have worked with businesses across the food sector including: pre-start home based businesses, local authorities, schools, colleges and universities, food manufacturers, and hospitality and retail businesses.

I have always loved technology, from tinkering with computers to learning to code and designing websites. I have an inherent ability to understand how technology works and teach other people how to use it, and went on to work in further education as a fully qualified tutor/trainer and have written and delivered over 40 courses in food and ICT.

As an entrepreneur, I am tenacious and highly driven; I relish a challenge. I’m an innovator and love to think outside the box and come up with new ideas, then research and test them. I’ve set up and run 4 businesses in the last 15 years including a food technology company.

I’m well connected in the world of food, technology and business and am keen to meet new people with a shared interest in any of these areas.

I live in County Durham and am passionate about the people and places within it. In my spare time (when I have some!) I enjoy gardening, fishing, cycling, cooking (occasionally!), and countryside walks with my wife.
