Work Experience
Founder
2017 - Current
Artisan venture capital, UK + France focused. First fund closed 2018. We’re easy to approach but tough to get money from. We favour prototypes over powerpoints. We write meaningful cheques at the stage it really matters.. We respect the journey and embrace the chaos. We’re hands on where it really counts and keep our distance when the time is right. We ensure that every board meeting is a whiteboard meeting.
