Start up companies and investment opportunities

I meant to post this a while back - the following video is an indication of the Scottish appetite for start ups and the investors circling. I had an interesting conversation with an investor recently who was very very keen to invest in excess of £4m but was struggling to find a business in his area of expertise with a proven business model that would give him a better return in 3 years than if the money sat in a high interest account - an interesting paradox where there are people desperately l… Continue

The Tech Meetup

Last summer, I spent a few months in London and once happened to go along to a small event for techies called the "Hacker Meetup". It was hosted by Ian Hogarth from Songkick (a London based startup) at their office. A bunch of tech startups and freelance developers came along and chatted, demo'd their projects and then we went for dinner. While this sounds very simple, I was amazed at how productive this time was – I made some really good connections and found everyone around me doing the… Continue
