Angel Investor · BRiMM

UK

I’m an exited founder now building BRiMM, a business focused on Purposeful Commerce and Planet Positive Living. My first company was a design and innovation studio that grew from a rickety desk to a team of 150+ and tens of millions in revenue, working with some of the world’s best known brands on new ventures and digital transformation. For BRiMM we plan to give 10% of the business to the planet and to invest 10% of revenue in lowering community footprints, with an emphasis on growing in unconventional, impact-led ways.

I’ve invested directly in 25+ startups and a further 30+ through three VC funds I’m involved with. I’m now concentrating on climate-related opportunities and welcome conversations with fellow founders, climate optimists and potential collaborators. I bring operator experience, hands-on scaling knowledge and a founder’s view on product, team and go-to-market, and enjoy supporting entrepreneurs as a partner and mentor.
