I was born in Bolton and as a boy tried to be a rockstar. On the rebound, I studied philosophy.

With some luck, I joined Entrepreneur First as the first employee, eventually setting up and running EF across Asia. I then started a company, and still made every mistake you can think of. Luckily, it’s easier said than done, and I have advised or invested in tech companies for over 10 years now.

At the moment I’m making music, writing articles, playing chess, and learning languages, alongside working on stuff that interests me.
