We know what to say and how to say it.  If you are going to say something, then make sure you are saying, what you are saying,
and not what you never meant to say, but continue to say it...

See....its our job to convey your message simply, cleverly, not too over the top, but we do not compromise either.

Text is important....you would not like to watch a movie with bad dialogue, so why discover a brand with words which say much, but mean very little.

I&apos;ve been founder &amp; CTO for over 35 years with of 8 of my own software startups with 22 products and 3 exits (8-figures).

I now advise, mentor &amp; coach other founders around the world (both technical &amp; non-technical) to help them get started, get funded, get launched and beyond.

One of my own startups had 11 million users and I helped one of my clients exit for 7 figures, I help in strategic &amp; practical areas both business &amp; technical (e.g. market research, team building, funding, requirements, managing the design, build, test, handover &amp; launch process).

I also help with mindset &amp; personal skills (e.g. leadership &amp; communications).

Creating a software startup is hard!

If you&apos;re worried or frustrated that you don&apos;t know where to start or that you&apos;re not getting everything right and that getting things wrong will cost you time and money (or worse, might it risk your startup launching) then speak to me.

If you&apos;re unsure or worried about market research, product-market-fit, getting funding, choosing a co-founder, choosing a development team or anything else. If you&apos;re feeling lonely and thinking of giving up. I can help!

When I started out, I struggled with a lot of the frustrations that you might be having now - I&apos;ve been there and know how daunting it can be and what you are feeling.

I spent years working this out and now I help founders like you to achieve success - so there&apos;s no need to worry any more!

I&apos;ve created multi-award-winning software and startups and been in the Deloitte UK Fast 50 and European Fast 500.

Over the last several years, I’ve helped many founders like you to navigate the minefield of the software startup landscape. Some of these founders have achieved their own successful exits.

Experiencing any of the following?
- Don’t know how to get started creating your dream software so you can be your own boss, have the potential to be financially independent and possibly make the world a better place?
- Worried about whether you’re doing everything you need to or if you’re doing everything right?
- Unsure if you&apos;re paying too much to have your software developed or if it&apos;s taking too long?

I will help you:

- Move forward
- Overcome hurdles &amp; worries
