Originally a biochemist and management accountant by training, my brother and I have been full-time, active, early-stage investors in the UK since 2000. Focussed on funding early-stage, UK and Singapore-based businesses and then following our investment across multiple investment rounds, we've achieved numerous exits - OC Robotics (2017 sale to GE Aviation), Bybox (seed investment to >£70M turnover without further funding - MBO in 2016 for £105M), Buzzmove (2014 seed investment sold to White Mountain Insurance Group in 2016) Omega Logic (Sale to Eposs Ltd), Pout (Sale to Catterton Partners) Commerce Decisions (Sale to QinetiQ) and Tagman (Sale to Ensighten). Co-investing with my brother, Michael, who also runs Cocoon Capital in South East Asia, I am actively involved in the management of many of our investments, including the raise of further financing.
