I am currently an Associate at FirstCapital Corporation, a technology investment bank in London where I source and transact mainly internet venture capital and M&A deals. Just prior to FirstCapital, I was a product manager at LibraryHouse in Cambridge, where I launched The Gauntlet, an online venture capital assessment tool, with the LSE, and which led to the largest startup competition in Europe. Before LibraryHouse I completed my MBA at Cambridge University, (Magdalene College). You can read the full account on my MBA blog. The Guardian has written about / mentioned some of my work here and here. A little while ago I developed an social network for bloggers and a social reviewing platform, both of which have become quite popular. I also recently developed a solution to the problem of spam. I run what is still the largest global volunteer recruitment site in the world. While at Cambridge I invented a new form of online interaction for knowledge workers, based on developments in learning theory. ‘Il Est Parti!’ (’He Got Away!’) is a short film I wrote & directed while at the Institute of Education (~10 MB, MPEG) in the style of French New Wave director Jean-Luc Goddard. My email journal from Afghanistan when delivering humanitarian aid in 2000 can be read here… 7th August , 19th August , 25th August , 10th September , 23rd September. It should have been blogged I suppose, but hey, it was 2000.
