I&apos;m a <a href=&apos;https://danmartinuk.com/&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>freelance content creator and event host</a> who helps small businesses and the organisations that support them. I&apos;m also Enterprise Nation&apos;s Local Leader for Bristol.
I have 20 years of experience as a small business journalist having interviewed hundreds of entrepreneurs from famous names like Sir Richard Branson and Deborah Meaden to the founders behind brand new start-ups.
I&apos;ve worked for a range of leading small business publications and support groups, most recently as head of content at Enterprise Nation where I was responsible for the prolific output of content on the company&apos;s blog and social media. I now freelance for Enterprise Nation as the website&apos;s <a href=&apos;https://www.enterprisenation.com/business-news&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>news reporter</a> and as the host of the <a href=&apos;https://www.enterprisenation.com/podcast&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>Small Business sessions podcast</a>.
I&apos;m based in Bristol where I run and host regular events with the local small business community in my role as Enterprise Nation&apos;s Local Leader for Bristol. I also have strong connections with other major business organisations in the south west region.
In total, I&apos;ve hosted over 100 events including conferences with an audience of hundreds for international brands like Xero and Facebook and live web chats from inside 10 Downing Street.
With my partner, I co-run <a href=&apos;https://www.lifestyledistrict.co.uk/&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>Lifestyle District</a>, a lifestyle blog focused on culture, art, theatre and photography.

About me:
After spending almost a decade working across a range of companies from Seed stage to Unicorn (and a couple of investment roles in VC). I&apos;ve gained a strong understanding of how great companies start, gain traction and experience J-Curve growth. I now help founders navigate how they best find product market fit, go to market, strengthen their market position, expand into new verticals and grow revenue and/or profitability.
I&apos;ve been involved in OTT sport apps taking on huge incumbents, a Marketplace that hit Unicorn status, disrupting the UK auto industry, a Fintech servicing large European banks and on a commercial team tracking performance and building deals with large household name corporate clients. All my work has revolved around BizOps, Revenue Strategy, CX Strategy and Central Strategy.
Having spent the best part of a decade building up my experience, I&apos;m now passionate about helping and advising founders on their journeys to build their businesses and succeed. I’ve seen my share of the good, bad and ugly of both the startup and corporate world; I’ve seen what gets VCs excited and bored when it comes to pitching.
I can help you in the following problem areas:
<ul>
<li>Building your idea into a business</li>
<ul>
<li>This means how to find and achieve product market fit</li>
<li>How you can go to market, in a step by step plan that provides guidance</li>
</ul>
<li>Strategy and implementation</li>
<ul>
<li>What direction you take your business in</li>
<li>How to find profitable niches</li>
<li>Longer term horizon planning and change</li>
<li>Budget building and planning for your financial year</li>
</ul>
<li>Pricing and competitor analysis:</li>
<ul>
<li>B/E modelling</li>
<li>Revenue modelling</li>
<li>Competitor SWOT and where to position your product or service</li>
</ul>
<li>Business Operations</li>
<ul>
<li>Building reporting functions and measuring the right KPIs to grow your business and make it successful</li>
<li>Schema for processes, with operational rigidity (think, process flows, escalations and building an operation that can scale)</li>
</ul>
</ul>
